2. Going five wide: That may be overstating it a bit, but Tennessee is going to try and open it up a little more and play to quarterback Nick Stephens' strengths. Throwing the deep ball is one of the best things he does, and sophomore receiver Denarius Moore has emerged as the Vols' best deep threat. Look for the Vols to get more of those guys on the field in spots to see if they can do a better job of spreading defenses out and backing safeties off the line of scrimmage. Whatever it is, Tennessee's got to find a way to keep defenses honest and run the ball better.



i guess at this point we have to try anything. Wonder who the 5 WRs would be, obviously G. Jones, L. Taylor, D. Moore, but the other two? Maybe Brandon Warren and J. Briscoe ,hopefully Austin Rogers isnt one of them, that kid has butter fingers. We need to get Brandon Warren the ball

The answer to our inability to run the ball is to go 5 wide and throw the ball more? If the guy who came up with that isn't a damn genius, I don't know who is.

We better be able to run the ball. If not it's going to be more of the same.

I think another part of it is to help the pass protection by taking away a potential blocker.

I was going to say I think you mean rusher but after thinking about it, what you originally wrote is probably the most correct and is exactly how you intended.

You said part of it might be that they are going to help with pass protection by taking away a blocker. I thought perhaps you meant a potential rusher since they would have to drop into coverage. But clearly you didn't.

The short-version: forget it, my bad.

Ahmad Paige....Ahmad....Where are you? Maybe when you are a senior you will get a few snaps because we want to get our best players on the field.

Running five-wide is going to leave a lot of blitz-packaging wide open.

And hopefully if they blitz us, we throw a short pass, or have a sneaky little screen set up for 17 or so yards.

Then again, that'd be asking a lot from what i've seen...
