Heupel offense in the NFL

[VolForLife83]

It helped Washington in the playoff game against Detroit.

I agree, we need to be more creative and diverse

Good little article

So Kingsbury starts using UT's formations and concepts, but CJH needs to study Kingsbury to change his offense? How does that make sense.

We need a QB that can run the offense and the last 2 years we haven't had that.

No offense works when defenses can control your running game with 4 or 5 men in the box.

 

[Visidog]

In the running play Zach highlights, the Lions defense has 6 in the box plus a safety to defend the run against 5 OL, the QB, and the RB. A LB and the safety both take the QB and a DT that beat his blocker across face also takes QB instead of pursing the RB, leaving the RB side wide open through B gap. It’s a bust. Plus the playside defender aligned over the inside WR has inside leverage and then inexplicably jumps outside to let himself get blocked. It’s a defensive clown show.

The Lions defended the run with even numbers and left the outside defenders 1 v 1. That’s almost always a pass read in Heupel’s offense.

Our offense struggled against good teams because we didn’t win the line of scrimmage enough. There’s no way any offense works without it.

Heupel should study every successful offensive coach and gleam what he can from them. All coaches should.

Detroit was playing almost entirely 2nd and 3rd string guys in their defensive front. So yes, Washington COULD spread them out and have success running against that rag-tag line.

It was a good strategy against the depleted Lions front just as UT had great success running vs lesser talented lineman by spreading it out.

It's not rocket science. Hit them where they're hurting is what good NFL coaches do every week and this past week for Detroit the 16 guys out were primarily D Linemen so Washington took advantage of that particular issue.

Exactly. And until Vols dominate the LOS consistently vs 5 man fronts or less, we’ll never “see the ‘22 offense” again.

That wasn’t some dominant O Line though. Wright was very good but the rest were average or worse at that time.

Boom. Shut it down, nothing else needs to be said.

Heupel has two offenses.

*This past year
*The year before

Two totally different offenses

Need an Oline that can pass protect while we’re at it.

Hooker being the running threat helped a lot. Of course he got injured during the season also.

Kingsbury and Huepel come from the same coaching tree of Mike Leach and both took some stuff from Baylors coach.

Sounds like Heupel may be a future NFL coach.

CJH took most of his from Art Briles

Oddly enough, the OL for 2025 graded better than the OL for 2022.

Nico held the ball almost a second longer than Hendon did.

 

[VolForLife83]

Honestly, we just need a Hyatt type wr...

That was Baylors coach when RG3 was lighting it up. That's what Huepel should do is watch some more of those old RG3 replays at Baylor and watch what he did in 22 to remember how he used to be.

It was not the system that caused our offense to struggle in the last 2 years. Our WR and QB can't read the proper routes. If Nico gets faster and the WR's get better we will be fine.

Our routes this year had to simple because our WR could not process the info needed to operate the offense. Made us predictable. We will be better next year.

It's amazing what a tight end can be in that offense.

Maybe Kingsbury took it to a level that Heupel hasn't with creativity in some of the variations available. That's perfectly understandable if you have interest in nuance

Maybe, I just thought it was kinda stupid that the article started about how Kingsbury had copied CJH and then said CJH needed to study Kingsbury.

Yep, but because he took the offense to another level. Hopefully Josh will study it

Nico isn't on the same planet with Jayden either. That's got a lot to do with it too
