From pee-wee football on, one of the fundamentals of football is that you always play fast. If the assignment is wrong or there is a miscommunication, always play fast. When a team plays fast, usually good things happen.
That axiom doesn’t change at the highest level. In fact, it is even more beneficial. When an offense plays fast, that can force the opposing defense to keep the same personnel on the field. This makes it more difficult for defenses to match up with offenses and their personnel groupings.
