Hurry-up DL rotation - sonnyjim - 10-28-2010 01:45 PM

It is often said that the purpose of the no-huddle offense is to hinder defensive substitution. It changes the recovery rhythm. When Cincy went no huddle last week the Falcons stopped the DL rotation and got a little gassed.

I bellieve that with defensive helmet communication BVG could tell Lofton to designate two linemen for substitution pre-snap. The substitutes would be sent down to the line of scrimmage pre-snap. At the whistle the designated resters would immediately head for the sideline and pass the subs on their way in.

What am I missing here?

I agree. We have a great thing with the rotation, however, the problem is that they get gassed.
If we end up playing Manning in the SB, then we are screwed.

that's what Cleveland did against us.
