SiriusXM 'Movin the chains' had a bit on the 3 trends currently happening in the NFL, and I would like to hear what you guys think
1. Fast Paced/ No Huddle Offenses - They were talking about how the Packers, Chargers and the Steelers plan to implement No Huddle Offenses in 2014 to copy the successful framework the Patriots and Broncos are using. The Patriots obviously were the first to use this system, have been ahead of the curve for almost a decade. They also mentioned that the no huddle is only good for a certain type of quarterback, the "Field General type". My question is: With more and more teams switching to the no huddle style offense, does this mean that defenses will get 'used' to it; making the no huddle not as effective? And will defensive coordinators use more cardiovascular exercises than ever at an attempt to condition the defensive players to have the ability to 'keep up' and not have to substitute as often? And are Rogers, Rivers and Roethlisberger the type to pull it off?
2. Large Physical Defensive Backs - Seattle was obviously the first with the Broncos and Patriots following suit this year in FA, and many other teams around the league drafting large CBs early in the draft. The league thinks this is part of the answer to slow down Pass first/ No huddle offenses that are slowly becoming popular.
3. Smaller Quick Fast Receivers? - This is something they also touched on SiriusXM. A possible counter move to the league trending toward large Defensive Backs could be smaller quick fast receivers. The idea is that small Wes Welker type guys can run a quick fast route inside with a short quick pass to use the CBs size against them.
I thought it was a very interesting bit.
