What are chances Cowboys go more no huddle and what will impact be?

[Parcells4Life]

With Romo being more involved is it actually going to materialize itself in more no huddle and will that be the thing the offense needs to be scoring at the clip like the Saints and Packers do?

Let's hope so! It seemed that the only time that the Cowboys did go into a hurry up offense was when they were down and trying to come back to win a game. IMO, you go for the throat at the first snap of a game.

If you make the other team catch up to you, then that is what creates mistakes for the other team, and that is what the "choker" Romo has been trying to do, save his team from coming behind at the end of games.

GATA as soon as the ball is snapped. Don't wait around, let Romo do what he does best from the get go.

I feel like Romo will have the freedom to use it, when he feels he has the D on their heels, Tired, or things are just clicking our way.

No more pulling it out as a last resort, desperation move, as if this was wrestling

I would hit the way-back machine and review how Bill managed the offense for the Raiders. I would expect similar for this season.

Romo runs the hurry up offense very well. Last year, our offense functioned much better without a huddle. I think a lot of that had to do with Romo calling the shots instead of Garrett. With Callahan calling the shots this year, it still remains to be seen if we get the same benefit going without a huddle. If Callahan calls a better game then Garrett( and I will be surprised if he doesn't) then we may not see as much advantage to the no huddle offense this year.

Not sure this has been discussed enough yet.

Actually, it appeared to work well but that was because we were typically down a bunch and the opposing defense was playing a prevent defense, so their main focus was not to get beat deep.So it appeared we were moving the ball a lot better but it was mainly due to a soft defense. If we did the no huddle a lot more, I doubt it would benefit us much at all.

Now, snapping the ball randomly instead of at zero seconds, that would benefit our Oline a lot better and probably help avoid so many false starts. Would probably help out the running game as well as the defense would not get a jump on our oline as much.

I would think it would eliminate a lot of delay penalties that Dallas always seems to get. I don't like running the clock all the way down so that the d-line knows the snap count either. I get that Romo gets to see more of the defense but I get tired of all the first and longs.

I see no huddle as a 2 edge sword, I think it can be a great change of pace when things get stagnate on offense but it can be a killer for your defense if your offense goes 3 and out quickly too many times. Defense never gets a chance to catch their breath.

 

[Reverend Conehead]

I think it would help this offense to score more. I'm all for it. I'm even okay with sometimes going no huddle on a game's opening drive -- just not in every game. Don't let other teams know when we're going to do it other than obvious situations.

I'm not, in favor, of having the team do like the 1990s Buffalo Bills, which went no huddle all game long. I don't believe anyone's considering that.

 

[iceman117]

I say you do it whenever you have found a mismatch in the defense, personel wise, go no huddle to exploit it or make them burn a timeout.... I wouldn't constantly use it for the reason someone already gave if it is unsuccessful your defense is never resting.... So it can be really effective in small doses

 

[DogFace]

I wish, like others, that we would go no huddle in non desparation time. I don't think we will though.

Unless they improve the running game - and with that - their red zone efficiency, it doesn't matter how the no huddle turns out if you're only kicking feld goals. In fact - it can HURT you because you're putting the defense back on the field quicker than you normally would. We have to run the ball better to have a chance - and therein lies my concern.

I agree. I really don't see a need to run the no huddle offense if we get our running game going.

Additionally, the no huddle can back fire as well. What if we don't see significant improvement in our defense? Running more no huddle potentially means they'll have to be on the field more often; getting worn down and run over.

I'm hoping we see the no huddle early in games this year. The key is when to use it and when to huddle up. There's going to be a proper mix and I hope the Boys find that.

 

[skinsscalper]

There's a misconception that the no-hudddle means no-run. That's absolutely false. The no huddle can be quick paced, no doubt, but it isn't devoid of running plays. In fact, our most effective running play of late has been the lead draw. That is a play that is tremendously effective against a defense that is playing pass.

I think that the no huddle is going to be deployed depending on situation. Whether it's a defensive mismatch that the offense wants to exploit or a situation where Romo sees that the defense is gassed or confused. Forcing the defense to either adjust on the fly or call a time out. The no-huddle doesn't even necessarily need to score points to be effective. Simply forcing a team to burn it's time outs also makes it effective. Tough to challenge a play when you're down to your last time out, down by ten, and 3:00 to go in the game. I think it will be a very effective tool for this team this season.

Last year when the Cowboys went to the no huddle they seemed to perform alot better. I don't think it has a whole lot to do with them saying the defense was giving any type of cushion allowing them to score because more times than not the Cowboys were in a position to take the lead which wouldn't allow the defense to give a cushion. Romo is a very smart QB and when they went to no huddle he seemed to dial up the right things. Just my opinion
