I wonder how much thought has taken place regarding varying tempos throughout the games this year? Certainly every coach tries to run clock in the 4th when protecting a lead but it would be nice to see some other small adjustments as well. Examples of this might be making sure we take the game clock all the way down to 0 (or as close as possible) before halftime and calling a running play when there is less than 20 seconds to go on the clock in the first and/or third quarters to ensure that the quarter ends and we get that extra timeout. Switching ends and getting an extra breather between the 1st and 2nd/3rd and 4th quarters just seems like a no brainer to me and until we see what the defense has this year, it may be more necessary than we think to change tempo. I think rest between possessions could be a real X-factor in keeping the defense from being exposed this season and we've all heard that the offense wants to utilize a tight end this year so maybe it will be to run block as much as be a pass catcher? Just some thoughts.
