Time to Scrap the No Huddle?

Then they go off the rails.

@AaronNagler @smartfootball @SI_DougFarrar W/O movement & multiple personnel groupings, the D doesn't have to adjust. Just line up & play.

@MattBowen41 @AaronNagler @SI_DougFarrar You have to do one or the other. Tempo or be multiple. Can't let Ds tee off. And it's not like they

And there it is. RT @smartfootball @MattBowen41 @AaronNagler You have to do one or the other. Tempo or be multiple.


Manning's offense with the Colts didn't sub out of 11 personnel, and he called everything at the LOS. He would dummy signal and if the D shifted, he adjusted again.

Its not the tempo, its the fact the only player Rodgers can call that last adjustment with a hand signal to is Nelson. Should be Cobb too, but he has been pedestrian. Adams and Boykin take turns either missing a signal or dropping a pass. If this doesn't change, or if they don't figure out a way to change the routes en masse, then I think they have to go back to multiple.

Telll me which on is the coach:

It's all on the coach. And he's comfortable with it... http://espn.go.com/blog/green-bay-pa...-run-no-huddle

But it does not sound like McCarthy is ready to make any significant changes -- either in personnel or scheme -- heading into Sunday’s game at the Chicago Bears.

"Our offense really isn't where we would like it to be," McCarthy said. "Whether we're in no-huddle or whether we’re in what we call standard huddle, mechanically what we’re doing I'm comfortable with."

That was supposed to say "one" as in, which Twitter user was a coach. But your post is a great find regardless.

The idea of using the same formation 78% of the time seems almost neanderthal. The Bears have a defensive secondary in a state of flux. I would think being able to face the same offensive alignment over and over would be a help to them. We'll see.

A lot depends on what they do with the personnel. You can run any number of things with 11 personnel (1 RB, 1 TE, 3 WR) but they were caught running a lot of deep routes versus the Lions Cover 2. If they can get to a better play call, then I don't care about the personnel package.

Jordy, Cobb, Boykin and Quarless ain't exactly Jennings, Jordy, Jones and Finley though. I think they're kind of limited with what they can do because Cobb isn't very well suited for playing outside, and Quarless isn't as flexible as Finley. They're less talented and in my opinion somewhat more predictable.

By the way, when Boykin filled in so well when Cobb was hurt last year, did he line up primarily in the slot? I'm just wondering if his reduced effectiveness is due to having to play outside more.

McGinn on Cobb in Detroit:

Not once did Cobb line up outside. All day long he had the slot two-way go against the Lions' fifth and sixth nickel backs, Danny Gorrer and Mohammed Seisay. A hard grader would give Cobb two drops. More alarming was the fact he couldn't beat these newly arrived free agents like a drum. Playing slot in this offense with this quarterback should be a ticket to enormous production and the stardom that goes with that. But Cobb's ho-hum play throughout training camp has carried over into the regular season.

Edit: "Now I see" said the blind man as he picked up his hammer and saw.
You were referring to Boykins having success last year in the slot.

One other thing that isn't helping Rodgers' case: he's tied with Joe Flacco for the league's highest percentage of dropped passes at 9.8. Not all of the inaccuracy has been the fault of Rodgers' receivers -- Rodgers has underthrown several deep routes this season -- but that doesn't help.

Jordy played the slot.
