Should we scale back the hurry up offense?

One thing I don't like about the offense is the hand-clap trigger. HC linebackers were able to time the snap pretty easily and disrupt plays. Shireffs fake-clapped a couple of times to throw off their timing, but it wasn't very effective.

Not a fan but I think they are trying to eliminate basic killers like false starts on forgotten counts, mistaking audibles for counts, and hard count problems, etc..Fits with a hurry up, no-huddle offense in its nascent stages.

The TV color guy noted that the HC D looked pretty gassed a couple times. Never understood why it is harder on the D than the O though.

Because the offense knows the plays, they can perform more efficiently. The WR knows the route he is running so he travels the most efficient route. The O lineman knows exactly who and where he is blocking, so he picks the most efficient angle, the D lineman doesn't. It just takes more energy to pay defense.

Incompetent offense line is a little heavy handed. 0 Sacks allowed, and the only times we weren't moving the ball was our first few drives when we were feeling out HC's defense. Not saying they're great but incompetent is excessive.
