No-Huddle
Offense
Package & Operation
Questions:
WHY
NOT USE A NO HUDDLE OFFENSE?
- Expensive (Time)
- Lack toughness
- Conditioning/Numbers
needs to be high
- No time to ID
the
defense or Audible
- Not enough talent or
talent not capable of doing it.
ALL OF THESE ARE
MYTHS!!
WHY
SHOULD YOU USE THE NO HUDDLE OFFENSE?
- "Spot the Ball" =
ready to go when the football is spotted by the
official
- Dictates the tempo of
a football game & puts pressure on the Defense
- Run the football
- Less thinking and
decisions for the Quarterback
- Get more out of
practice (conditioning naturally occurs)
- Reduce looks and
amount coaching the defense can do between series
- Simplify the Offense
WHEN
TO USE NO HUDDLE OFFENSE? (if situational)
- After a Big Play
- When nothing is working
- When they are better
- When they are worse
- Always!!
Best way to use it is to marry it, not to date it!
Want to have the play in and ready to go in 7 seconds or less.
"Spot
the Ball"
- Beat the opponent to
the punch
- Play so well &
fast the Defense caves early
- Set standard everyday
Simplicity
- Scheme, calls, signals
(Nova only has 4 runs)
- "We do what we do"
- Call won't be perfect,
emphasis is on playing fast
- Don't sacrifice
speed...
Things
that slow down a no-huddle offense
- Officials
- Signals
- Set get set
- Conditioning
- Quarterback surveying
the
defense (NO QB CHECKS)
- Motions
Wide
Receivers set the tempo
Types
of
No-Huddle Offense
Tempo
- Fastball-Regular
- Automatic
- No speed is too fast
- Run a play w/ 18
seconds left on the play clock
- Procedure:
Signals come from the sideline, nothing from
the QB. The QB echoes the play to the OL. The QB
will say
"Set," give a heel flip and shoot his hands. The Center snaps
the
ball and says "Go."
- Nascar/Indy-Fastest
- Operate from the
wristbands (Nascar is one formation while Indy
is another )
- QB gives the number
(which indicates the play off the
wristbands)
- QB operates the
cadenance. Want to snap the ball ASAP
- As soon as the play
is executed and the whistles blows,
"reload." Assume you will stay in this tempo unless otherwise
told.
- Wristbands only have
10 plays (5 for Nascar & 5 for Indy,
the direction is indicated by the QB)
- Look
Tempo-"Check w/ Me"
- Slow the tempo down
slightly
- Change up from
fastball
- Allows us to stay
out of a bad play, induce a penalty
- Formation is given
to all, normal QB operation, center gives
"Go" call. QB looks to sideline for decision
- Slow-4
Minute Offense
- OL walk to the LOS
after a play
- Skill still in
no-huddle procedure
- Snap the ball with 2
seconds or less left on the play clock
