>>375765 You are correct that no-huddle can stop a defense from organizing their more complex blitzes, but Arians still only resorts to two plays: throw it deep and run at the tackles. If the scheme he came up with during the week fails, he is completely unable to adjust his play-calling.
This isn't a fresh opinion, either. Originally, I thought I just dislked Arians because his play-calling was different from the Steelers' football I grew up with. Even though it was "working" given Big Ben's stats last year, I thought it was a weakness to be so dependent on aggressive passes to gain a lead to sit on. I see more value in wearing down the opposing defense while putting up points (three at a time if need-be) than trying to force the opposing offense to compete in a one-dimensional shoot-out.
