Tales Of The No Huddle

The no huddle offense has been successful for the Falcons so far, but Mike Smith says he's not going to overuse it. It'd be nice if the Falcons went to it more quickly when they struggle given how effectively the team rolls.

But hey, Aristotle was right. Everything in moderation.

It works.

No "but"s about it. I’m glad they’re staying conservative with it though. That way, our opponents will never quite know when it’ll show up. And then boom, we drive 80 yards and score. Such a lovely feeling, having an offensive plan that works!

Nice change of pace

but it’s no panacea, you can’t fall in love with it. When it doesn’t work, you give your defense very little rest before they have to get out on the field again. Smitty & Co. have picked their spots pretty well so far, they’re wise to use it judiciously. If Aristotle could be a football fan, I’m sure he’d approve!

I prefer Zen to Aristotle

And that clearly teaches us that sometimes even moderation should be used only in moderation.

Let that bake your noodle for a little while.

We’ve heard that a million monkeys at a million keyboards could produce the complete works of Shakespeare; now, thanks to the Internet, we know that is not true.
