Harbs talking about the switch to the no-huddle offense and our new DC Pees:

Joe has been tremendous in the no-huddle this pre-season and the few times we used it in previous seasons. It makes me very excited to see it actually becoming a major part of our gameplan.

I'm new to football talk, but i think they should mix it a little bit between huddle/no-huddle it will confuse the heck out the other teams for example if one game they did a no-huddle for the first the drives....the other team would only assume that the next drive they would huddle but we no huddle instead

The no huddle won't really work when your attempting to run clock out, or I guess it will work but won't really serve a purpose. I didn't read the article though

Don't know, if it would throw anybody off, but we won't go no-huddle all the time eventhough I do expect it to be a big part of the offense for same reason that Harbs stated: It's just what the league changes into by bending themselves backwards to open up the passing game.

Not an article. It's an interview with coach Harbaugh. I quoted him in the title. That's his opinion.

Going completely no huddle puts us at an advantage. Defenses cannot make substitutions and if we can keep moving the chains, we will tire them out before halftime.

With our speed and youth on offense, it's about time. I think our offense explodes this year. Torrey becomes known as an elite guy as does Flacco.

In college the no huddle is used all the time to run down the clock. Its done by having players line up right away to freeze the substitutions on defense and then seeing how they line up. The QB and other players then look back at the sidelines for signals as to what to run. Then they can wait until the last fractions of a second to snap the ball. The offense is often called the "check with me" or "look-see". Not all versions of the no-huddle are of the hurry-up variety

I'm not buying too much into this until it consistently happens. After all we still have Cam Cameron as our OC.

I am sure the coaches plans trump the OCs. So if Harbs is sold on it, I would assume chances are pretty good.

This offense continues to dominate late in games when we are in a rush and we go no huddle.

I love the no huddle but i have to wonder that a fast moving offense leaves a weakened defense on the field longer. Do we really want to have our defense on the field a majority of a game ? Williams has been burnt almost on every play on his side of the field. We have no pass rush to speak of and let's face it our pro bowlers are getting older. I just think it will be a push in the end. I would love to try the ball control game and run it down the oponents throat but then we need a solid O'line.

I have no doubt by the pre-season that flacco can move th eball in the no huddle and looks great running it. The defense is what is scaring me and thats hard to admit being we have always had a in your face dominant defense.

No huddle is like our super weapon. Our blitzkrieg, atomic bomb, or our new swag!

That's quite an exaggeration. I'm excited to see the sugar huddle

[Bazooka Joe]

They're speaking no huddle so much that Im thinking we won't see it as much as advertised.

[hawkprey]

I think the no-huddle makes every QB look good and it's probably going to replace the huddle as the standard soon enough. Ours looked good, but I still like the ability for us to switch between personnel packages. Maybe we don't do that enough with Cam as it is.

[Corvus Amplus]

No Huddle = More time playing and less time talking.

Flacco might finally break that 4000 yard mark.

i think thats bound to be broken. he should flirting with 4500

Like I've said before, the key is being able to run effectively in the no-huddle - the Bills of the 90s did it, so there's no reason we can't. And I think it's going to make Rice even more dangerous in the passing game - as a pure running back there might be some better ones, but I don't believe there is a single player in this league that's as dangerous in open space as Ray Rice. I think our no-huddle be able to maximize this for him as well as juice up the rest of the passing game.

[Purple Punishment]

If anyone wants a perfect example of how effective a no huddle offense can be ran and be extremely effective, just watch the Oregon Ducks

[cobrajet]

I am all for the no huddle. I fully believe that it will be one of the key reasons we will have a great season.
