"The Dolphins are in no position to guarantee offensive fireworks, not when they don't know who their quarterback will be. But expect a more aggressive, fast-paced, creative offense than what Dolfans are accustomed.

New coach Joe Philbin said Friday the team will "absolutely" make significant use of the no-huddle offense, will exploit matchup advantages and will use multiple formations to keep defenses guessing.

"We want to create mismatches… with our formations, our motion, our shifting," he said. "We may line up with no backs in the backfield.

Next play, we may have two tight ends and two backs. We want to play fast, make the defense adjust. If they can't adjust and if they can't handle our empty backfield and if we're completing passes left and right, we're going to stay with it and make them stop it.

"I'm not saying we're going to be no-huddle every play. [But] if you want to be an up-tempo team, you want to have as many at-bats as possible."

Philbin said the Dolphins will practice the no-huddle a good bit when the offseason practices begin in May: "Let's be proactive with it. We want to get our players used to playing fast and decisive.""
