No Huddle Offense

#51

The bottom line is this....(in my opinion)..the no huddle offense doesn't necessarily rely on QB/WR timing, therefore the addition of "new" WR's doesn't mean it won't work...the no huddle attempts to isolate mismatches in the defensive scheme. The Colts proved that you can run the ball in the no huddle as often as you attempt to pass the ball...there may be no better offense to prove that running the ball sets up he pass like the no huddle does. What it does require is a QB to identify what type of play needs to be run in order to gain ground. If the Vols are implementing this type of offense, apparently Cut believes that Ainge has the mental acuity to make it successful...we will see....

Im willing to bet that all the receivers who signed are studying UT"s playbook and workin with someone on the plays

You're kidding right? That's common knowledge - every player is working on their team's stuff. And freshmen STILL have a problem adjusting right away.

O line assignments would be harder than receivers or backs in the no huddle. QB is still the key, but people tend to forget how complicated OL play has become

Muffed punts anyone? Fumbled kickoffs? He has made some nice catches (see Air Force) and he still has 2 years to produce, but when he had the ball in his hands, nothing good seemed to happen, with the exception of Florida.

First off, UT has the worst special teams coaching in the country. No returner we've had recently has been very impressive. It wasn't very smart to put Taylor in as a true freshman. However, the other option was Hefney. Everyone is annointing him a savior for our defense, but he was benched for his return fumbles.

Hefney was named a finalist for return man of the year.

Fumbling punts means what on defense?

i hope he proves me wrong...but i just dont see him living up to that 4-star potential he had. correct me if im wrong, but when we did play him on punts and reverses, he did virtually nothing.

You're dead-on about the reverses. But consider this. Randy Sanders is the most predictable play caller in history. Lucas Taylor touched the ball six times on offense in 2005. All six times were reverses. I think he was only on the field for 7 or 8 plays. Any defensive coordinator that studied UT's tape would be telling his defense to watch the reverse to #12 everytime Taylor stepped on the field.

I think hefney did a good job but id like to see coker get some more chances. then again, hes got the bad habit of letting opposing players knock the snot out of him... still that 4.3 speed has to pay off

Coker and Ja'Kouri Williams should be returning kickoffs and Hefney should be returning punts until he proves otherwise (fumbling or injuries). You have to admit that Hefney looked more dangerous returning punts than Taylor

What's it mean on offense? Is Ainge going to throw the ball straight up into the air and hope that a downfield receiver turns around to face him and is able to catch the 40 yard pass?

Right. So Jakouri Williams isn't a liability but Lucas Taylor is.

You did not answer the question. What does fumbling have to do with defense? You said that everyone is annointing Hefney the savior of defense but was benched for fumbling.

I don't think it's that unlikely. I don't know if he'll be our offensive star or anything, but I think he'll contribute something tangible.

He was benched as a return man for fumbling. Also, if you want to see some mistakes, watch the crazy stuff Hefney tried to pull off in 2004. He's come a long way since he's been in Knoxville. There's no reason to think Lucas Taylor can't do the same on the other side of the ball.

I just want to see someone other than Taylor given a chance and if they blow, put Taylor back in. And yes, I believe that Taylor will contribute on offense.

Ja'kouri has not been given the chances that Taylor has had. The only thing he's done is knock out a ref against SC in 05.

He hardly played at all last season. When he did, he probably screwed up 50% of the time. I'm not kidding. He had some really bad miscues on special teams. His one offensive play was a fumble that led to a touchdown.

Everyone will get a chance in practice. If Taylor outperforms those guys, he'll see the field and they won't. Trooper Taylor knows what he is doing.

pretty much every chance he got on returns was a fumble. i wouldnt give him anymore chances

Jakouri is a good athlete and he always looks good in the Orange and White game. In 2005 he was really good as a gunner on punt coverage. In 2006, he really didn't do anything well. Hopefully he'll find a way to contribute in 2007.
