Huddling
Would football be better if huddling was eliminated by reducing the play clock to 20 seconds?
Am I crazy to think that NFL teams shouldn't need to huddle? No other sport does it. NBA players don't draw up a play after every change of possession. It's boring as shit. It slows the game down. It's a complete waste of time. Two reasons that it could actually happen. 1. The league is so worried about concussions that they might want to see the players get smaller. 325 pound D-Lineman won't exist. This could reduce the force in the collissions and reduce concussions. 2. The league is dying to figure out how to get more global appeal. The rest of the world loves soccer because it's a continuous game. When they see football, they get bored. It's funny because Americans think soccer is too boring because there isn't as much action, and they think football is boring because there's too much inaction. If you combined the superior action of football with the superior lack of inaction in soccer, that sport would take over the world. Am I nuts? Should we eliminate the huddle? |

Momentum=force times velocity. Getting drilled by a 260 pounder running a 4.58 is every bit as ruinous, if not more so, than getting pancaked by a Wilfork.

Right, but you're slowing down the players as well. They don't get to recover between plays. They don't get to sub.

Being tired leads to more injuries I promise you that.

Close. Momentum=mass times velocity. Your point is a good one. I think the mass is more important than velocity for the repetitive collisions that linemen experience though.

I was originally going to type the force equation, then changed to momentum w/o the appropriate edit. This is why I was shitty at physics.

A non-stop, no huddle with Alex Smith:
Yeah, let's get that boy to the IR asap!

Yeah, you're nuts. NFL football is all about violent collisions.
I'm all for making the game as safe as it can be, but I really don't give a shit what the rest of the world thinks. |

Actually, reducing the play clock to 20 seconds would mean more plays, and therefore likely more injuries/concussions. |

Huddling gives players time to catch their breath between plays. If you can't catch your breath, you are going to need to focus more on endurance and less on explosion. Smaller, faster, more in shape athletes will dominate the game.

Shortening the game, shorter quarters--yeah, now you're getting a bit nutty. I know this is just a "what if?" exercise, but the league would never go for that. Shorter game = less ads = less money |

Why not? I'm betting the Axl Reid "Deer in Headlights"-offense would be spec-****ing-tacular!
