Too simplistic an approach, psycho. As a DC, my immediate response would be to make you think I'm coming and trap you into a quick throw, while I'm in a tight 5 under zone, or man. With you throwing quickly I have a good chance for a pick or at worst a tackle for a little or no gain.
This is what teams have started to do with us. Think about all the critical 3rd and shorts we haven't made in the recent past....many even after a completed pass.
No while your idea has some merit, but not as dominant philosophy. The thing we have to be consistent in......is being inconsistent (and thus another oxymoron is created ). Many formations. Alternating between quick snaps to get them off guard before they can get set, and long snaps which give our O more time to see what they are attempting. I would n't mind seeing spurts in the game when we go to the no huddle and a fast pace. Which would keep them from getting set and making personnel adjustments.
In other words.....EVERYTHING....but all in moderation.
I absolutely agree that "inconsistency" is the order of the day, however I would err on the side of caution and use more empty sets/quick release than pro set/max protect, just enough to force the defense to be honest. I don't want to be exposing Brady to rookie blocking more than I have to. Obviously we are going to throw in a couple of runs to lure the defense into playing on its heels.
Also I think our first drive will be a no-huddle.
