Are offenses slowing down or has the defense caught up with the "HUNH" offense?
I think it's a mixture of both: when teams 1st start playing fast; DC's were scrambling trying to find solutions. Even if they had a game plan; if they (big key) didn't practice a certain way often their players were sucking wind by the 2nd qtr. Better prep with scout teams, better conditioning drills, more multiple defenders have all contributed to a bit of a slow down!
Plus, many teams who tried it and were not getting 1st downs found out quick; "it's a real blow to your defense if the offense does not possess the football long and they have to trot right back out"! Those are my thoughts: what are yours?
