re: Bring back the huddle

I know warp speed, and all that is popular, but for a struggling offensive line, a huddle helps. It gives them time to talk to each other about protections, and how to fix things between plays. When they have to rush and line up, they miss out on all that communication.

The point of no huddle is to keep the defense on its heels, and not give them a lot of opportunity to sub in players. I get that. You can still huddle up. Let the defense sub in based on your subs. Then line up, motion to see if in man, then audible if the play is bad. I think execution would be much better with a huddle.

Terrible take, if you huddle you give the Other teams defense the time and ability to substitute between downs in order to adjust and change personnel to down and distance and situation, etc.

If you get a personnel grouping that makes a big play on first down, and you like your grouping vs. what the Defense has on the field, then go no huddle and don't substitute, you dictate to the Defense. That among many things was so good about LSU in 2019, they go out on first down pick it up and then don't substitute and whatever personnel a team had on the field vs. LSU they were stuck with, even if it was tough for them to match up with
