You really think watching 1 game is the blueprint for our offensive/defensive/sepecials teams tendencies? If that were the case we would have been contending for the SEC championship game based on that Cinci game. Good coaches build a team around whats available not their system.
If you will take about 5 seconds, that might have been because of talent level at last check the mighty BIG ORANGE has the number 1 recruiting class going should stay in top 5 all the way to NSD, give him time till recruits like Hurd get there ofcourse this year is going to be a rough one playing with someones else players.:loco:
I like this thread, because it is thoughtful, makes some specific observations and stimulates conversation.
But I think where the OP missed the boat was in using the evidence to draw conclusions. And, as others have already stated, we can't draw conclusions based on how Cincinnati teams performed. Maybe some of the tendencies will transfer, but this team will be Tennessee, through and through.
1. We will be blitzing a ton.
2. We should be able to defend screens very well.
3. QB's that are good with audibles will kill us. (Bama)
4. Our secondary will still be terrible.
5. We will block at least 2 field goals.
6. We will probably be blocked at least once.
7. The most ACCURATE thrower will win the starting job. NOT the best runner.
8. The HARDEST runner will be our best RB. Not the fastest. Break/Miss tackles will be the key.
9. Our fastest WR will be our go to guy. Route running won't be a big deal. Every other WR will basically be decoys.
10. TE's won't be a deep threat. Short passes and then they have to bulldoze through.
11. We will run screens a ton.
12. Redzone scoring will be difficult for us. It's either QB run or hope for a great pass in endzone.

Are you also saying we're going to lose to Derek Dooley every year?
