Silverfield’s offense seems far more deliberate, but it just may be we need to be slower because we are playing a freshman QB.
I think we need to be selective. If the defense spends 7 minutes on the field, then dont run the hurry-up for a few plays. If you get a first down then go into hurry up. Just give the defense a few minutes to get their legs back under them.
In a perfect world, you don't let your defense dictate what your offense does. They are separate entities and you run each the best way to maximize their production. If anything, we should be changing the way we play defense.
Instead of allowing an easy 4-8 yards on every play unless our opponent screws up, we should be making them work for those yards at the expense of giving up the occasional big play. We should be playing "hurry up" on defense. The defense should be designed to get off of the field in 10 plays or less; be it by stopping our opponent or giving up a big play and that's the end of it.
We are struggling on both ends of the field. We are better off playing to our strength on offense and letting the defense deal with their problems, than not playing our game on offense and having it struggle.
