Butch to build offense around Tight Ends this year

[UT Hill Man]

I'd like to see a Jason Witten emerge in this offense, and Butch is just the guy to make that happen. It's about time we featured the Tight End position more. With the receivers we have there should be plenty of seams and underneath room for the TE thrive. Just another brick the offensive wall Butch is building.

Hurd to TE?

 

[govols105]

if he wants that he should not have mentioned it til after the bama game... so much for surprise attacks.

 

[Aesius]

Hurd to TE?

Too tall.

 

[give_him 6]

Hurd to TE?

Oh no, not again

 

[jkleno]

With our talent at WR, I would build around them before a true freshman WR.

 

[ManningBerry#1]

I'm looking forward to us firing on all cylinders again.

Tight Ends, if used properly by their coaching staff, can be weapons of Mass Destruction

That is exactly what I want to see,, WMD's

We may need a wmd to win a couple of our games this year. Like Oklahoma and Bammer.

I can't wait until Hurd establishes himself as an elite college running back(hopefully by running over three or four guys on the way to the end zone) so that I NEVER HEAR ANOTHER HURD the TE joke or TOO TALL HURD joke. There has been one in every thread for a year now, lol.

Our TEs and WRs at 6-3 to 6-6 over 220 to 240 pounds up against their secondary of 5-9s 170 pounds should be a peanut eating contest on the heads of their DBs.

Hurd to TE?

Safety IMO

 

[K-town Vol Fan]

Butch used the TE a ton at Cincy, I look forward to seeing how they use these guys...

 

[JonGrudensAgent]

Vol coaches have promised to get the TE more involved since Majors.

The lone exception for obvious reasons was Witten.

I'll believe it when I see it.

maybe that's the plan, get the smaller teams focused on tight ends then hit them with North/Pearson/Hurd. So many weapons on this offense

 

[kevino]

If Hurd were tall enough he would make a great TE

 

[orange parmejohn]

Oh Mr. Worley, just be cool and let the ballers handle business. That's all I ask.

 

[KappinSpaulding]

I have always felt that the TE position is the most underrated position in CFB. If nothing else, the use of receiving tight ends pulls a DB forward to keep them honest.

(it sounds so dirty)

 

[FalcoVol]

Makes a ton of sense imo. Our weakness at the tackle position means a lot will be asked of our TEs in all phases of the offense. If they succeed, our offense could be lethal.

I seem to remember Rivera making quite a few nice plays.

At least Butch has a history of actually doing it. Can't wait to see Wolf and Helm shredding teams for the next few years!

 

[ScornedPapaVol]

Chris Breezy #28 made a play or ten as well.

 

[CafterD]

So Butch wants to build the offense around a couple of stiffs named Ethan Wolf and Alex Ellis, as opposed to a pretty darn good stable of WR's, and a decent RB?

That's silly.
