I'm saying they allocated the practice time to tempo.  BPU wasn't a big concern.

With protections, bpu, being less important, FAR less practice time was spent on it, than a traditional team. (Not saying I agree with this).  But YEAH.  Tempo teams practice differently.  At least we did. We spent time going fast, instead of figuring out how to take care of the blitz.

Again. I dont agree with this(its .  Just sharing what players told me.

Geoff Scwartz, 8 year NFL lineman, and coached by Chip Kelly in Oregon:

By operating at such a ridiculously fast clip, college offenses have negated the importance of the blockers up front making specific identifications and picking up intricate blitzes, which are skills that continue to be vital in the pros.

“You’re running at such a high tempo that teams aren’t going to twist and blitz because you’re moving so fast. Defenders are so tired.”

Titans general manager Jon Robinson says that the goal of many college practices is “going for quantity,” with teams using that time as a way to hone their ability to move lightning fast come game day. To wit: When Schwartz played at Oregon under then-first-year offensive coordinator Chip Kelly, he says that watching practice film had almost no value. The scout team could barely line up before the ball was snapped. And while college coaches doing their best Ricky Bobby impression is outrageously fun to watch, it’s caused linemen to lack technical skills and knowledge of schemes and protections that would allow them to smoothly transition from the NCAA to the pros.
