| Article I found from last year. Basically says they shouldn't have tried to get him to switch, but it shows that he is a lefty... Common sense left behind in Vols |

| I do like that the staff is trying to get some strength at the LG and C position. Moving Dallas to LG was a good move. Seemed like last year the pocket would collapse between the LG and Center pretty easily.
BTW who is ready to see Tiny on the line? I'm pumped! | |

The problem last year was the result of taking a lefty and making him snap the ball right-handed.
They have obviously moved him back to center, but are allowing him to snap the ball naturally. | |

IF we are going to be a blitzing defense, PLEASE put in more blitz packages than Wilcox had in...anyone with half-a-brain could see where the pressure was coming from when we blitzed last year.

| As a former center for 13 yrs, there are many ways to snap the ball to the qb. 30 yrs ago they had guys snap 2 handed under center. There is more than 1 way to skin a cat. (no homo) | |

| I never understood the idea of forcing a lefty like Stone snap the ball with his right hand. I am glad they went back to his normal snap. Glad the O-line coach that made this change is gone. | |

Instead of working so hard on snapping with the non-dominant hand,they should go back to regular snapping and use the extra time to improve run blocking. | Whoops. Epic fail on my part. I assumed he was right handed to start with. Sorry for derailing an otherwise informative thread with a rant based on a faulty assumption. | |

Blitzes are as much to create disruption as it is to get to the qb. I also think the general logic in blitzing now days is that you bring more than the offiense can block and you win automatically. | |
