Who else is loving the no huddle?

[BrassCowboy]

I am not sure I like it so much. I understand why they do it. after seeing Romo huddle up then make changes at line sucking up so much time all the time, guess maybe a hybrid version of it may be good.

Garrett is finally catching up on what I've been yelling for years on this forum.

Now I just have to convince them to run it at the goal line.

We just don't have the offensive line or running attack to punch it at the goal line...

To me it looks like they are trying to copy the Patriots a bit and that's a good thing.

The no huddle helped to sustain drives, even without scoring and wore the Giant's D down...they could not make substitutions and that had them gassed several times...

love it

The coaches get the game ball for tonight's win.

The hurry-up forced NY to be much more vanilla in their defense...and combined w/ our defense wore them out.

Kudos to both Linehan and Marinelli.

I'll give you Marinelli, but not Linehan

I like the concept for sure. My preference is to use it more, but not all the time.
While Dak has come a long way, I don't want to give him unlimited decision making at the line of scrimmage. Let's use it a few series and coach him up each week. I feel like there were a ton of audibles last night.

I have always said that it seems like Garrett/Linehan try too hard to outsmart the defense, even when there's no reason for it. The Cowboys of the 90s knew they were going to run the ball close to the end zone, the defense knew they were going to run the ball, and the Cowboys still ran it anyway, and with success. I can understand trying to outsmart your opponents at various times in the game, but sometimes, you should just man-up and make them try to stop you.

I would have liked to see more of it.

I agree with this, but you actually see big time coaches do this as well. Pete Carroll in the SB, Belichek has done it, etc etc. (did I just defend JG?? I feel sick now! Lol). The 3 straight passes early on was maddening however!

Well excessively used it also gasses our offense. I am thinking Eagles of a few years ago. Not against it, just use it sparingly.

The time to outsmart the opponent is for the dagger touchdown in the 4th quarter when you've ran it in 3 times already with the same play. You fake them out at that point.

What's the use in fashioning yourself a power running team if you're not going to punch the Giants in the mouth on the goal line?
