a no huddle offense, punk rock kinda life

the no huddle offense is a strategy that is employed in the game of football. it's usually used when time is running low and a team needs to try and score quickly to keep themselves in a game. by sacrificing the huddle, teams save valuable seconds that can be used to run plays to get them closer to scoring.

but my favorite advantage to a no huddle offense is what it does to a defense. it throws defenses out of their comfort zone. it leaves them less time to get set and be ready for whatever the offense is about to throw at them. defenses are usually unable to substitute players in between plays and defenses start to get exhausted quicker when going up against a no huddle offense.

some teams like to exercise a no huddle offense just for the fuck of it... not just when they're down or in a hurry. sure, this gives them less time to plan plays but when a team's offense is in the zone running their offense without huddles, it's very hard to stop. suddenly the offense is a lot less thought and a lot more action. nothing too fancy, just relying on what works... whether it's a bruising running game that is gashing a defense open or a swift passing attack that leaves defensive secondaries in a daze, to me there's nothing more beautiful than when an offense is taking it to the defense on some blitzkrieg type shit.

most of the time, this is how i wanna live my life. i just wanna keep attacking life. i wanna keep attacking life at a speed that life can't handle. that whatever life throws at me, it's not ready to combat what i'm throwing at it. look out motherfuckers. i came here to score touchdowns and if you make any attempt to stop me, i promise you i will come at you with a pace that will leave you exhausted and wondering if and how you will ever find the energy to put my attack to rest.

i wanna attack life. and fuck the huddle. yea, i might wear myself out too, but it'll all be worth it when i'm putting points on the board and adding wins to my record. the trophies i seek in life will be worth every drop of sweat, every ounce of effort i leave on the field.

if i don't want it that hard, than i don't even wanna step on the field. if i'm not gonna put everything i got into a fast paced, all out, full volume attack, than why bother? that's how i want to live my life. and even if i lose, even if i got no victory to celebrate at the end, i'll still be able to look back on my life, on my efforts and say i gave it all i had and at the least that which got in my way got exhausted trying to stop me.

it's on some punk rock type shit to me. it's all very similar. i'm gonna simplify the playbook. i'm gonna break the songs down to 3 chords. but those 3 chords will be loud and fast and you may not enjoy the song being played but if you listen you'll know the message i'm trying to deliver. and those that do enjoy it will jump around and mosh and scream the lyrics along with the melody.

and when the no huddle offense is working, and when punk rock songs are working, that shit is fun! it's fast, fun, and leaves you with no time to slow down and be boring.

no huddle, punk rock kinda life... that's the life for me. fast, loud, relentless, and fun!

Fascinating outlook, my friend. Good luck with that and try not to get too many penalties and no diving off the speaker.
