No Huddle Offense

I like the no huddle and Ainge seemed to do better in the 2 minute drill and this is just an extension of that. I also think it will be a good way to add new receivers to the mix.

As long as the O stays on the field long enough to keep the D from getting tired then it is great. Especially early in the season against a Florida that has to pretty much rebuild from the ground up on D.
 
Here is a nice "NFL 40" explanation from Wikipedia:

Devin Hester supposedly ran a 4.24 in training camp. Many reported times are unreliable due to differences in timing methods if not intentional falsifications. The fastest time officially recorded by the NFL was 4.29 seconds by Deion Sanders in 1989 [1], although the NFL did not begin electronic timing until 1990. In the electronic timing era, the fastest recorded time at the NFL Combine was 4.25 seconds by cornerback Fabian Washington in 2005. [2] Most other times close to 4.0 are untrustworthy due to the use of hand timing, but it is often claimed that players including Sanders (4.17)[3], Ted Ginn Jr. (4.29)[4], Ryan Dotson (4.24) DeAngelo Hall (4.15)[5][6], Michael Vick (4.30)[7], Bo Jackson (4.14)[8], Don Beebe (4.21)[1], Michael Bennett (4.13)[9], Randy Moss (4.25)[10], Darrell Green (4.15[11], 4.2[12]), Laveranues Coles (4.2)[13], and Alexander Wright (4.09)[14] have approached that mark. Although 40 yards is always run, the 60 meter dash is not a well-regulated track and field distance, the official record for which is 6.39 seconds. Tapes of sprinter Ben Johnson's world-record breaking 1988 100 meter dash (which was later annulled due to Johnson's steroid use), however, show that Johnson ran the 60 m in 6.37 seconds; this is considered the most quickly started race ever run.[15] Johnson covered the first 40 meters in 4.53 seconds. It is often reported wrongly that Johnsons first 40 yards was timed. It was actually his first 40 meters. Which translates to an exceptionally fast 40 yard time (4.14 seconds).
However, in track and field races, the runner must react to the starting gun, which can take 0.10 to 0.20 seconds. For electronically timed 40 yard dashes, the runner is allowed to start when he wishes, and a timer hand-starts the clock (after a reaction time of 0.1 to 0.2 seconds). This difference would indicate that, at peak form, Johnson would have been electronically timed in 4.04 to 4.14 seconds, or hand-timed in about 4.00 seconds, making claims of hand-held times in the 4.1-4.2 range more credible.

Sorry for the cut-and-paste, but I didn't feel like paraphrasing.

Thanks for the info. So, the fastest legitimate 40 time in the NFL was 4.25. That's insane. It does show that people who claim 4.2 40s all over the place are embellishing.
 
You shouldn't. Tennessee's and CPF's worst enemy has been their own conservative nature. If Tennessee finds the aggressiveness of other top programs, our own program will rise quickly.

Whatever actually transpires between now and September with this Tennessee Spread, it is good to know that other SEC coaches will at least have to consider the look when they gameplan us....
 
The announcement by the coaching staff that UT will go "no huddle" means that this has been in the works for some time now. You don't throw together a no-huddle package overnight.

It hinges on a QB who can read defenses at the line of scrimmage. What happens if (a) Ainge gets hurt, and (b) Crompton can't read?

This is, in all likelihood, the UT coaching staff (pronounced "Phil") recognizing the fact that the spread option (ala UF and BSU) is a valid offense, and that UT is on the verge of being left behind. Then again, it could just be that our run blocking will stink again, so the coaches said "Well, hell, might as well run the no-huddle."

Don't be surprised if the UT no-huddle bears a striking resemblance to the Colts no-huddle. If we can run it the way they run it, we'll be fine.

Go Vols.
 
im no football genious or anything but wouldnt it make more sense to not announce this to the whole world and suprise other teams with it? or would it just get out anyway...
 
Incredible.

People complain about Fulmer when he won't change then something fairly radical like this comes about and they complain all the more.

It would appear that CPF has seen the light if he ever didn't and has realized that the Vols have to evolve with the game.

Cut gets execution and if Manning spends time helping out in K'ville this summer, it could be one of the more exciting offenses the SEC has ever seen... but I won't hold my breath waiting for some of you guys to give CPF some credit or even a little slack.

BTW, someone earlier worried about defensive fatigue. The no huddle doesn't have to run faster it just allows you to dictate the pace much better and somewhat control what the defense can do and how they substitute. The Colts usually snapped within the last 5 seconds of the play clock.

If they get it together, it could be alot of fun in the hot Florida sun against a totally rebuilt defense with no experience in the second line.
