In his latest blog Armando suggests trying the hurry-up and 2 minute offense more often.
Dolphins In Depth
Personally, it seems every year we have this discussion. It sounds like a broken record when someone says "Hey, they moved the ball well at the end of the half and the end of the game. Why not do that all the time?"
However, I think maybe this team could benefit from a faster tempo. The grind out style the team appeared to want to establish has been non-existent.
What are your thoughts?

I think at 31-3 with such little time left the Arizona defense had softened up to give us as many 5-7 yard pass plays as we wanted to keep the clock moving without giving up the big gain.
I don't mind the hurry up if it can stop defensive substitutions but overall the offense is flawed if they have to rely on it as a whole.HardKoreXXX likes this. -
Either way, this offense (and D for that matter) needs to establish an identity. -

Thats what I meant by failing to establish a "grind-out" game. It appears that Sparano and his staff are very tentative about how they are going to run the offense.
Alot is talked about the run game, but your best offensive player in Ronnie Brown gets very few touches? Seems like mixed messages to me. -
The Hurry-up will do absolutely NOTHING for this defense.
With the exception of Will Allen, EVERY SINGLE one of our Defensive backs should be looking for work TODAY, with perhaps several of the Defensive coaches right along with them
Look, I understand that Fitz and Anquan are an incredible set of WR's, I watch them pretty much every weekend.
But, what I witnessed first hand yesterday in Phoenix as absolutely ABYSMAL. Kurt Warner ends up with a freaking 156 passer rating? Are you kidding me?
Right off the bat, letting Anquan Boldin run straight up the middle of the field, not-touched and uncovered? What do you think is gonna happen?mi2cents and Coral Reefer like this. -
The hurry up would be a good change of pace to throw in once in a while, but would not work all the time.azfinfanmang likes this. -

The hurry up offense only works when the D is in the prevent mode...no team is in that mode all game long. Now, there are exceptions, and Indy and NE do it well, but only because they get mismatches of personnel and when in the hurry up, the opposing D is not allowed to sub players in...It also takes a seasoned offense with a solid QB to do this. If you're suggesting Henne do this, forget about it...If you're suggesting CP do this, well we jusg don't have the seasoned offense that you need to accomplish this...JMHO

I think the no huddle would help but i really think that Chad Henne could break it for good, why you ask, because the kid will keep pressing and pressing and pressing the ball downfield until that beautiful seame opens up and the football rythym changes -
I found it interesting that players said they've run the hurry-up so much in camp they feel almost MORE comfortable with it.
I expect to see some changes in the Offense this week against NE. Even if it's not the hurry-up. -

The hurry up is effective because we were behind by a bunch and the Cardinals were sleepwalking on defense. Same thing against the Jets. Both teams played a sort of prevent defense which always gives up yardage.
As you saw in the Jets game, when they needed to tighten up and get a stop, the hurry up provided no advantage.
Personally, I would make a point and freaking run the ball on the first 10 snaps or so from scrimmage. Let this team know that they WILL play better and WILL block better if they plan on having a future. -
