I'm not sure how I feel about this. The new NFL is shifting toward no huddle, up tempo. I think you'll see a few things. Defenses are going to start drafting players that can play every down -- a big reason why I loved the Dontari pick, while I'm not a huge fan of nose tackle anchors. As that happens, I think the up tempo offense will still be effective, but may lose a slight edge. Long story short... we have to incorporate no huddle elements, but the advantage may start to become less so. But my feeling is, you have to bring in a guy like Geno Smith, and the Ravens had the model right... start him off with a basic, conservative, run-heavy offense and work him in. Don't take the Big Ben approach where you let the guy freelance too often early in his career -- no QB the Chiefs will get will have the body to withstand that kind of abuse. While we'd love to see an offense with a ton of fireworks, if we really want to bring a young kid along, the best route is to lay up early. |
