Ok fellas I know how you crave a little "inside" information so here is bone for you. This may be public knowledge already for anyone who has went to a practice or two. DC currently has his team running offensive plays at a rate on one every 12 seconds. His goal it to get to one play every ten seconds. The thought is that at elevation it will be a difference maker. Another piece of info that I wasn't aware of is that the receiver's coach, Sage, was the receiver's coach in NH when Chip Kelly was the OC, so he has worked with this system before. I will tell you that in the scrimmages it is a killer on the receivers because they do not sub in every other play like they would in a game situation. They are expected to get back to the LOS get the play call and execute in 12 seconds. That is tough to do when you have just ran a 50 yard fade! Finally, it isn't so much the pace right now it is the mistakes that everyone is making because of the pace........as my son stated "it is difficult to think and execute when you are exhausted.....things are just happening really fast right now but we are getting used to it!"
