Why did we swap tackles in the Missouri game?

[DaddyChad]

At one point, Tiny swapped sides. Was there a reason behind that?

Maybe he can hear better with his left ear

 

[rockytop114]

maybe a demotion

 

[germantown902]

Perhaps they moved him to counter Michael Sam.

tiny has played like he is TINY all year.i like him.and wish he would get it together.we need him to step up big time this weekend.

It was just a part of their short yardage package for that week in an unbalanced set. Jones said they may continue to move him around as needed for situations. He talked about it in his Monday presser here:

Skip to 27:00 for the specific question and answer.

Power run formation. He and Ja'wuan were on the same side.

Probably will see that against Barn, too. Hopefully, backs get more that 14 carries this time.

 

[oldsmokey67]

every game he has had at least three false starts.i think he needs another year to work on things before making a jump to the nfl.miller,suggs,watt,and mathis would eat him up next year.

The team was nostalgic for the "strong and the quick" of the Clawfence years gone by.

Thanks for a real answer. Can't watch the youtube link but thanks to the poster that posted that. Probably will watch at home.

I was at the game and Tiny was limping really bad and in obvious pain. He didn't come out for warm ups with the other lineman and even limped back to the locker room when he did. I was very surprised he played.

Not sure I can take another year of drive killing false starts. I wish him all the best in the draft

Tiny has gotten more penalties this year than any other OL we have. And what makes things worse is most of the penalties have been in the red zone. He is very skilled, but I think this new offensive scheme gets into his head and makes him make mistakes.

Something else I noticed at Missouri, the PA announcer ran his mouth while Dobbs was trying to call plays. It was loud enough in that little stadium without him amping it up. The other Vol fans sitting near me noticed it too. It was definitely a hostile environment for a true freshman starting his 1st game.

We tried to swap him, but Missouri wanted too much boot to trade, would have made Dooley buyout look small.

well our pa announcer should do the same thing.ad that with 100,000 screaming fans and that would make it hard for any team to call plays in neyland stadium.

Ha! I remember that kind of "announcer" from high school basketball away games. They used to always "announce" your name right in the middle of your free throw motion.

"John Doe" at the line for two!!! Smart cheaters would wait to the end of the game to employ it.

Correct. He was technically lined up as a TE in this set.
