The Buffalo Bills are preparing to run a no huddle offense in 2009, according to a team source.
"The no-huddle lends itself to guys that are big-play guys, because if you get a defense that's just a little fatigued, just a little off their first-step quickness, and you get the explosive guys, they can hit the home run," said no huddle pioneer Sam Wyche.
"They have those quick-strike guys."
