It also works both ways. The offense is also equally locked into their personnel. Have the 4 WR set in and it’s 3rd and 2, then is the call to throw it, run the QB and risk injury? Do it wrong and you’ve got a quick 3 and out, which a LOT of these up tempo teams end up with. It only takes a couple of 3 and outs for a high tempo team to get off track and get blown out, particularly if they’re putting their tired defense back out there.
What you say is true IF a JaySam is not one of your WR’s. Well prepared teams don’t get caught in situations you describe.
When your offense hurries to the line as we talked about and then forces the defense to play with the personnel grouping on the field, that isn’t a quick 3 and out. The full amount of time is used the same as if they huddled, called a play and ran a play. 3 and outs are not caused by hurry up offenses.
Regarding the WR who ran 30 yards down field, we can bring in a group of WRs who are very good. Will the defense substitute their DB and put in a depth chart sub for their starting corner. It’s a chess game and smarter OC’s like Drinkwitz put us at an advantage IMO.
