Not sure I put much weight into offensive play totals. While it can give an indication of pace, there are a lot of other factors that go into it. Factors like the opposition turning the ball over (or just plain stinking it up with 3 and outs), or perhaps the offense has numerous long drives from dinking it up and down the field. Those can run up offensive play totals too.
Anyway, when I brought up pace, I wasn't necessarily talking quick-snap move-move-move all the time like the Eagles want to do. It's more about getting back after a play and being at the LOS quickly. And then if the situation merits a quick-snap, do it. The Broncos, 49ers and Packers use almost all of the play clock on the majority of their plays, but they're up at the LOS so fast it puts incredible pressure on the D.
I loved our pace in the 2nd half. I'd be happy with that pace if they ran it the majority time rather than only when they're down and in panic mode. I don't know, maybe this has more to do with Kubiak not having confidence in Schaub being able to run it or calling the right play/audible. Maybe Kubiak doesn't feel we can physically do it. It'd be nice to see them try it though. Maybe against the Titans??
