Arkansas has inside Tennessee information

[mrmax86]

This Arkansas team has inside Tennessee information, ex-Vols Addison Nichols at center and Doneiko Slaughter as a defensive back. They transferred in the winter.

“They’ve been great additions,” said coach Sam Pittman. “They’re both starters." Nice read Mr. West! GO VOLS!

If your game plan depends on a couple college kids remembering formations and tendencies, then your game plan is weak and easy to exploit!

So what?

Josh thought of that - Changed the handshake.

Josh taught them everything they know. But, not everything he knows.

Do you think Heupel is more worried about Slaughters “inside knowledge “ or Pittman is more worried about Heupel and Company exposing Slaughter wherever he is on the field??? On a separate note…wish everyone involved in Nichols decisions making had been more patient.

I thought the reason for Addison leaving he didn’t want to play center. I may be mis-remembering . Isn’t he playing center for Hogs?

Bingo!!

Tennessee has had players transfer from Bama and Georgia in recent years. That inside info didn’t help. Talent matters and execution matters.

Don't think Mr West felt that was very significant. Just worth a short mention.

The offense will be all about OL protection again this week. Expect Heupel to play to what the defense gives and that might not be throwing downfield very often. He will lean on this defense...

Would like to see our offense get into rhythm during this game. We will need it two weeks from Saturday.

Wouldn't hurt my feelings if we hang 70 on Arky.

2 Things I think about when I hear Tennessee vs Arkansas Football

1. The 'Stumble & Fumble' by Clint Stoerner

and...

2. THIS EMBARRASSMENT from the last Dozen Years!!!

Neither was a starter...or good enough to stay...

Neilko would have been starting at NB, with Boo getting valuable reps behind him.

He played CB out of pure need for us for 2 seasons even though he was a safety/NB. I appreciate his efforts.

The kid needed a change.

General Neyland used to say, "I'll tell you what I'm going to run, and you can't stop it." With the knowledge Arkansas has, can their secondary stop our passing attack?

From what I remember over the last two years... Heup should run fake to set up the slant with any transfered Vol CB on the opponents D...

Thanks for catching that for me.
I edited.
I usually say being old sucks, can't see, can't pee and can't remember sh!te. Now I would also add, can't read or edit what I've written. It's all downhill.

Addison knows enough that he is getting mauled by the Vols DT. Elijah, Omari, and Lott are probably shaking in their cleats at the prospect of going against him, LOL. The D-line will dominate the line of scrimmage.

Addison might call in sick that day !!

 

[thunder5]

Yeah...well we have inside info on them...both of those players are mediocre at best and are about to get boat raced by their former teammates

greatest ball coach of all time when it came to being utterly badass and correct

I think that Majors and Neyland would have done very well acquiring talent in the transfer portal.

Mears and Summit would have adapted too.

 

[knoxvol52]

Never a dull moment, gotta give you that.

 

[kckempf]

I think the idea that the transfers can give Arkansas inside information is firmly tongue in cheek. Opposing coaches haven't been able to rely on our playcalling to be consistent week to week this year, much less with last year's playcalling. The funny thing is we'll call the same play ten times in one game, but they may never have seen it, at least in the formation we're using, the first time we call it.

 

[greenbacknative]

Oklahoma prepped for us for 9 months and still lost.....

 

[SpookyAction]

I suspect that Jackson Ross will be punting less in this game compared to the Oklahoma matchup.

It's time to see that fabled athleticism and see how fast he runs.

 

[Orange Navy]

Neilko would have been starting at NB, with Boo getting valuable reps behind him.

This. With the injury to Thomas, Slaughter would have no doubt been our starting NB.

Nichols is a different situation. Would be 2nd or maybe 3rd string if he stayed.

 

[Ernie McCracken]

Ain't skeered....Yawn!

....south carolina managed to a few years ago

 

[stolitonic]

Isn't the beauty of Heupels system that there are only like 5 actual plays? Everything else is based on reads and split second timing.

Not exactly like it takes a rocket scientist to figure out what what we are going to do. You just have to be good enough to stop it.

Defensive signals, then yeah-that's a bit different

After the USCleast debacle, if we haven't changed our signs since last season, then quite frankly we deserve to get whipped.
