this offense does have some downsides to it.... You will see...

I've grown to really like (wouldn't say love...lol) but has someone who has watched this offense run up close for many years now...there are some things about it that could be problematic ..really for any level...High school...college or pro... when your team is BEHIND against a team that isn't running a no huddle....you risk losing momentum by running the plays so quickly.... plus if you're behind and a team knows you have to pass...taking the run off the table nullifies play action passing...

plus if you notice just in this game...many times when you run the ball in this offense..you have the opportunity to juke guys in the open field, but you also have times when a defender has a chance to tee off on a runner because there are no blockers around.... in the NFL...with bigger faster defenders...injuries are at a higher risk with that type of thing.

you got to be able to play smash mouth football at some point..and if you completely reject that....you won't be able to do it when you have to.
