Re: More on the no huddle and Colts
I agree, the Colts utilize the hurryup to catch defenses unprepared more than anyone else, so it's a little dose of the pot calling the kettle black here. Still, I don't have a problem with Indy doing it - it's part of the game. If Indy's opponents aren't prepared for these tactics, then it's their own fault.
Brownfan80 said:The ironic thing is that the only other team I've ever seen hurrying to catch 12 men on the field consistently has been the Colts. It's part of their gameplan when the D subs (I understand that the rule states that when the O subs that the D has to have time, but not the other way around).
But the kicker is that they are preaching about the SPIRIT of the rule. A team that absolutely THRIVES on taking advantage of every single cheapo means to move the ball is worried about the SPIRIT of a rule?
