In the car today in NY metro area and someone called a sports talk show and began a discussion on how Chip Kelly's demise as Eagles coach was partially caused by his hurry up O. The discussion led me to consider Tech and KK's offensive strategy.
If you have a defense that is suspect why push the pace? Every three and out gives the opposing team an opportunity to score. If your successful and score it puts your defense back on the field. More reps for a defense that is suspect when rested. Tech's defense seems to start out pretty well and then fades as game progresses.
The caller said that Kelly's team had to score big to beat the opposition. He wore down his defense, and when the offense wasn't clicking, they couldn't win. Sounds awful familiar. I don't think Mahomes and this offense needs the hurry up to succeed..
