it's not sustainable, you will overwork and not sub players. The benefit you get is a wash, even though statistics say otherwise, the whole rotation does help getting some fresh legs and give some WR's breathing room to go deep.

Good post.

You risk a lot to your identity and your defense by going to up tempo.

i think hurry up or no huddle would work for wilson as he always tends to really find his rythym in those situations. its why hes had so many 4th quarter come backs.

however this doesnt match the philosphy of the team where you want to pound the ball, control the game clock and play solid defense.

its like 6 of one a dozen of the other, which method would really be better. wilson hitting his strides or letting beast mode go off. i think they need to do it situationally when the offense either struggles a bit or when wilson has his slow starts.

Exactly what I was thinking.

If there was a motto or mantra to describe our team -- and I don't mean a generic rah-rah statement out of Carroll like "always compete" or "next man up", I mean a mantra that really reflects what we do -- I think it would be "we will win the battle of attrition".

We are aggressive and violent on defense. However, we are conservative and tend to grind it out on offense. The offense wears the opposing defense down; in doing so, it also gives our defense a chance to stay fresh and catch their breath. If we start tweaking the formula, our defense will suffer. Being able to control the clock is valuable to the team in all facets of the game. We can't have our cake and eat it too. It's just not that simple.

The current philosophy has been wildly successful. There's no reason to make big changes to it.

Yeah!!, Wilson is such an idiot, what the hell does know about running a sporadic up tempo Offensive attack anyways?
He needs to stay Bevel predictable, keep it slow, and give the opposing Defenses a little rest in between plays, so they can stay fresh & sharp. :roll:

A Majority of the slow starts can be fixed my getting rid of the scripted plays, 25 scripted plays that must all be used before you start using plays that can take advantage of what is really happening is ridiculous. That is why we have slow starts most of the time those scripted plays do not work. I agree with more up tempo, sprinkle in some hurry up, no huddle and then some normal offense and you can keep the other team of balance. Even in the normal offense just provide the personal group and let Wilson call the play that is when things always seem to role. And above all stop be conservative and taking your foot off the throttle.

Seattle, like many teams, scripts about the first 15 offensive plays. The players are told what those plays will be the day before, and they rehearse them during the walk-through. The team won’t necessarily run those 15 plays in that exact order in the game, as there are some adjustments made for third-down situations or if the team has the ball inside the 20-yard-line, but for the most part, the team sticks to the sequence laid out in advance.

The goal of following that prepared script?

“We’re trying to execute well,” said Darrell Bevell, Seattle’s offensive coordinator. “We’re trying to score points, which I think we’ve done a pretty decent job of doing that. There’s some fact-finding you’re trying to find out.”

The offense is trying to judge defensive tendencies, to see if the opponent is using the same alignments and coverages as previous weeks and to test whether it is adjusting the same way.

“Your ability to think concisely, your ability to make good judgments is much easier on Thursday night than during the heat of the game. So we prefer to make our decisions related to the game almost clinically, before the game is ever played. … Without question you can make more objective decisions during the week as to what you would do in the game than you can spontaneously as the game is being played. To be honest with you, you are in a state of stress, sometimes you are in a state of desperation and you are asked to make very calculated decisions. It is rarely done in warfare and certainly not in football; so your decisions made during the week are the ones that make sense.”
