Should Vols use all four receivers in the offensive set and one tight end ?

With four wideouts Tennessee will be very effective in forcing one on one coverage. Speed kills. What defense can cover the four receivers one on one ?


I believe they plan to accomplish this set with Seldon in as a WR ..........or is he a RB? If defense keeps a LB in, Seldon goes outside. If they go dime, hes at RB with a TE lead blocker....

Just watched Off the Hook, with Dave Hooker; he said that sources are telling him that we will see 4 wide this year.

Their chances improve if there isn't a RB on the field. We could see some 4 wide but they'll probably take the TE out.

Depends on if the O-Line can keep Milton from being murdered!
This is what plagued us in the uga game. Hooker couldn’t read the blitz and make the hot route pass to save his life. Open WRs that didn’t get the ball because of it. Multiply drives ended with a sack that didn’t need to if he anticipated the blitz and got the ball out. So I would almost argue that it’s on the qb more than the oline when the oline is outnumbered by 2 rushers on a blitz.

Swain talked about this on Friday, I think hour 2. You should listen. He basically said no, because if you have 4 WRs on the field the defense knows what you are going to do. Makes sense with the TE to block and release on a pass and let the RB pick up block in an RPO.

I've been teasing you guys a bit but do have serious doubts about Milton's accuracy, especially on the run. Tends to way overthrow people. What do you think of that issue?

At times, yes but I'm not a fan of not having a true running threat to keep the defense honest.

When a NT is putting a center or guard in the QBs lap every play that's on the OL. Hooker's problem was he was fixated on Tillman every time he was in the game. That's about the only knock on Hooker.

Nope.

This offense is based on defensive numbers in the box. Always need a back on the field to be able to run the ball if the numbers are favorable.

There was plenty of blame to go around for both units.

and on the coaching staff for that matter. They did not have an answer for the blitz. Were not prepared for it. Uga knew where we were going with the football and covered it up while sending extra dudes (sometimes getting home without extra dudes).

And sometimes it’s just as simple as they had more talent than us and it was evident. I’m sure that played a role too.

I'd say UGA has more than enough talent at DB to get up in our face and press the hell out of us. Just like last year. Bama? Maybe. Regardless, who are we to suggest anything regarding this offense to Heupel. Presumptuous to say the least.

I think we stay mostly with 3 wideouts, 1 te and and 1 back. It’s gives us much more versatility, especially given the fact that our O-Line is reportedly having issues so far at camp.
When you have backs that can catch like we do having a 4th WR isn't such a big deal, especially when someone like Seldon in the backfield.

I thought we ran this a lot. With this formation you tie up six secondary defenders.

I really wish we would utilize the backs more out of the backfield. I feel like we’ve called one screen pass to a back during Heupels time here and it went for a touchdown against Florida . I think Small has had a couple of touchdown catches, but overall it would be nice to open that part of the offense up.

I think we can spread it out well, but I think we still mostly use a 3 WR, TE and RB personnel even in that formation. If there is a year to get 4 wr on the field it would be this one . Very talented group.

This, in the simplest of terms... No running back is antithetical to almost every principle within CJH’s offense.

I don’t know if it’s comical or dangerous when some of the folks on here think They know what they’re talking about when they start discussing football theory and strategy.
