I am firmly convinced that Chip Kelly will not let this offense huddle at least on crucial downs because he does not have any confidence whatsoever in his quarterback or his receivers.
A huddle on third down or any crucial, potentially game changing or game winning play could spell the difference for this offense in sustaining drives and scoring more often. How many times have we watched this offense go three and out after third down failures?
With the few seconds that an offense has to huddle, actual important strategy can be exchanged between the QB and his unit. Receivers can tip off the QB about what a certain defensive back is either doing or not doing, whether he's playing his man honest or whether he's playing him loose. Or what a safety is doing or not doing right before a play occurs.
I also believe that the field general should have a right to discount a called play from the sideline if he thinks a play he wants to run will have a better chance to work. This is when the huddle is imperative for this option.
Kelly just doesn't believe in his QB or his receivers, in my opinion, which means the coach wont change his offensive approach enough to trust his offensive unit within the confines of a huddle before crucial plays.
