Up-tempo Offense???

[Philip Ferguson]

I thought the offense was going to move from the line much faster this season.  I didn't notice much of a difference last night compared to the past few years.  Did I miss something or is BR saving that for later?  GMG

Saving that for the donkeys of Dallas?

Oh, it happened quite a few times.  It goes in spurts.  One time, they got a first down, lined up, & snapped before the Green Brigade could finish their first down diddy.

Right out the gate, we showed some new formations...three set backs, tight end throws, etc. However, I thought that overall after our two quick touchdowns, we let off the gas a bit and played some more standard formations/plays.  I figured that our OC decided that he didn't need to continue to show his hand given the ease that we scored.

We were faster on average against SMU last week, to the tune of 2.74 snaps/minute.

I thought against SMU we did not appear as fast though I don't know the technicals above support that.

What I did notice is that we seem to do these long, drawn out plays with long/longer receiver routes. And where were the new increased use of tight ends?  I want to us to return to a two or three step drop back and fire the ball out of there; this is Fine's strength (to make a quick decision and to throw an accurate and on-time pass). Moreover, this is hard to defend and helps our offensive line and to limit sacks. I want to see "fast" not just between plays, but during the plays.

I thought SMUT was faster getting back to the line....
