Recruiting Forum Football Talk IV

Bru McCoy's hurdle is that he's transferred before. AP believes it gets worked out.

Maybe it's just me. I love what our coaches can do with the passing game but massive yardage on the ground is the tippy top top.

UT averaged 217 yards rushing per game. What do you want?

Mostly just odd it's just now being brought up. It always was going to be a hurdle. But as long as it gets worked out, we good.

I have been reading the post about our offense and rushing the ball. I really think this offense is designed to put maximum pressure on the LB's. Think about it, the offense runs so fast and the plays are so quick it freeze's the LB, the DL have to play their zones or they are beat and will be exploited and the DB have to "cover" on every play so they can't take a "breather". With that pause of the LB's more times than not you will be successful running the ball and passing for that matter. I know we, myself included, talk OL a lot but really if you watch our OL by design they just need to redirect the opponent more than pancaking anybody because things happen so quick, that is why the recruits on the OL are tall and leaner........quicker.

Tis a run heavy system for sure.

Maybe the best possible system for running the ball. Absolutely great scheme for it.

Spread them out wide enough that the LB has to commit/signal whether he's covering pass or playing run. If he drops into coverage, run it. If he commits to run, pass it.

Or...

Spread them out and force the LB out of the box into coverage, and then just run it down their throat.

It's brilliant.

It does put more pressure on the LBs.

The WRs in this system split wider to the sidelines than other systems. In other offenses, the WRs are still narrow enough that a LB can position to read post-snap and decide between pass/run. IN this system, he has to decide pre-snap whether he'll position to play run or coverage. The offense can also often dictate with offensive alignment.

So, I'm not so much one that prefers a run-heavy system. I'd rather have a system/coach that knows how to put the players in the best situations to make yards (and lots of them).

So... No Tillman?

It’s been brought up before……just being talked about more close to the season.

Vols were 2nd leading rushing team in SEC (11th in country) last season, and top 30-35 in in ypc.

I want that Samaje Perine kind of breakout game a few times a year. Is that too much to ask?

 

[NMVol]

^^^^^^^^^^^^

UT averaged 217 yards rushing per game. What do you want?

And a 250+ average would be nice. What got me started were the notions of the results if T. Evans had stayed. We have not hit a ceiling.

I don't see a date on that. So fake news until forensic analysis can be conducted.

Man, it's good to see you posting. I thought some of those "allegedly" toxic Skittles may have got you.

Former South Carolina QB Petty dies at age 43

Wow. Very sad................

Lot of truth here

One problem with cutting the chord.. if your internet goes out, you have nothing. My internet went out earlier and I have just been sitting in silence

Thats the reason that this chord cutter made sure I had hotspot with my phone and service for those rare moments that I lose internet.

That's precisely my understanding. The spread and lack of a lead blocker gets the maximum number of defenders out of the box. The fewer box defenders, obviously the easier it is to run. The LBs are stressed horizontally and have to either get to the edge very quickly or choose to stay in tight. It's definitely a scheme to defeat the LBs afaik.

Can’t find any pairs of tickets for the Florida game on Ticketmaster. Just bit the bullet and bought a pair in section L on stubhub for $175 before fees.

I expect us to be undefeated and the hype to be through the roof so I locked it in today.

Talk about getting lucky. I received an email from stubhub this morning that my tickets aren’t valid. Stubhub let me choose alternative and I was able to upgrade for no additional charge. I’m now sitting in section B, row 18
