Jets linebacker Calvin Pace says Pats run “borderline illegal” offense

[paycheck71]

Here's an excerpt from a VERY good article about the Patriots offense.

The Patriots operate their no-huddle attack most often using one word as the play call.

More accurately, they use six one-word play calls a game.

That word tells all 11 players on offense everything they need to know.

Formation.

Blocking scheme.

Direction on run plays.

Routes for receiver on passing plays.

Shifts in formations.

Snap count.

Possible alerts and play alterations.

One word.

This is the "new thing" around the league (even though it's been tried over and over again over the years.) Lots of teams are trying to run a no huddle approach to minimize substitutions and to wear defenses down.

BUT.

You've got to have a good, disciplined team and a smart QB to make it work. If you don't have that, then it can actually turn around and be a benefit to the defense because the offense can also become prone to mental mistakes.

So for Pace to say that they're not setting before they snap seems plausible to me. But I haven't watched much Pats ball, so just a general comment.

The No-Huddle attack also has the same effect on the refs as it does the defense. The refs have a small window to call any penalties so of course most are going to be missed... That what makes the No-Huddle attack so special, its based on other peoples mistakes. The jets put that out there so they can remind the officials to watch out for it and hopefully it slows them down. It didnt work because the refs have turned gun shy for all the bad calls in the past. They won't call these because no other officials have been calling it. Easy way out.... or they are just incompetent....

It pissed me off bigtime when their fans were lining the streets for their SuperBowl homecoming couple of years ago that time Nnamdi Asomugha was either signing for us or them and we flinched first and signed JoJo. Meaning they had Revis and Nnamdi in their D backfield.

Their fans were classless back then, totally classless, and they got what they deserved, they were off the back of 2 fairly flukey AFC Championship Game appearances and when they beat us to Aso that was it...SuperBowl!

Well now who's ****ing laughing?

I hate the Jets.
