I wish I was as optimistic as some of these posters about Gerald Williams, but I can't say that I see him being much of anything this year. Even if he did play JUCO (see brent schaeffer and kenny o'neal) there is a huge difference between getting a good ranking in JUCO and those from high school players... I hope I'm wrong, but can't expect him to come in and be 2nd string DE right now (ahead of Martin and Walker).

Also, what is the latest on walter fisher? How is he doing this spring? Another guy that was a top JUCO player. I hope he can contribute this year. Is he still at DE or have they tried to move him inside to DT?

Tennessee has also had JUCO guys come in and make immediate impacts.

No doubt, and I guess if it is going to be done then it would seem to suggest that defense would be easier than offense... Let's hope, but I'm just not that optimistic... 3 years is a long time, and pretty sure he took one year completely off

No he's played organized football all three years.

One year at prep school, two years at JUCO.

sry but i saw The Future partying @ RTs and Mannahs on the strip on Thurs and sit out games 2days later for "headaches" or some b.s.

He had a serious concussion. He met with Dallas Cowboy physicians about it. Drinking a couple of beers and getting lit up by Thomas Davis are a bit different.

Rumors went around that "The Future" gone on the wrong side of Jason Witten's temper in the locker room... maybe thats what you meant by the dallas cowboys physician, I'm just not that smart haha.

Just to make this note:

We won't be having a LT, LG, RG, or RT. Offensive line is working under a new philosophy.

So the linemen will be responsible for knowing all of the positions?

I thought that's always been the mentality under Fulmer

It cuts down how much each linemen needs to know. Some of the guys, like always, will know more than 1 spot. But there is no "LT" now, just ST and WT

I hate that. Not because of schemes or anything like that, but explaining it to people sucks.

It's becoming the new "cool" thing to do. UGA has done it for a couple of years, except they take it one annoying step further and call the strong side linemen "tight" and the weak side linemen "split".

I know. It aggravates me.

How can Paige not start if he's playing this well?


From Justin's link earlier about last week's scrimmage (http://www.utsports.com/football/article.aspx?id=56296):

Receiving Leaders (No.-Yds.-TD)
Ahmad Paige 7-73-0
Luke Stocker 2-62-0
Quintin Hancock 3-44-1
Tyler Maples 2-42-1
Josh Briscoe 4-40-1
Austin Rogers 3-17-0
Lennon Creer 2-15-0

I'll be happy with whoever they put out there from the WR talent UT has. But remember, spring is about finding out who can help you and who can't.

IMO, Paige is working his way into the fall rotation. I'd say Rogers, Briscoe, Jones, and Taylor are already there.

Most think Rogers is more on the bubble than he probably is. He did have some drops... but the same folks who seem to remember his hand full of drops don't remember that he was the one guy who could be depended on to go over the middle and make a tough catch in traffic.

Until someone other than Jones and Rogers proves they can and will catch the ball over the middle... get used to him being in the rotation.

So is there actually reasoning behind it, or do people just change it to be different?

Yes. The OL's switch sides depending on which side is called strong. Every play has a mirror opposite to the other side. They might even use the same nomenclature. For example, strong right offset 42 could be an off tackle play with the TE and offset FB to the right. Strong left offset 42 could be the exact same play except mirrored to the left side.

There are pluses and minuses. One of the pluses is that you learn two plays every time you learn one. One of the minuses is that some players have a weaker and stronger "side". IOW's, they have more trouble performing a reach block to the left than to the right.

Balderdash. Rogers didn't catch any more balls in traffic than Taylor or Briscoe did.

If you say so... but I remember reading quotes from coaches praising Rogers for specifically being willing to go across the middle and take a hit.

I honestly can't remember one catch that Briscoe made inside the hashes. I'm sure he did... and honestly I'm a big fan of the guy... I just don't remember any.

I remember numerous times when Rogers caught the ball on a slant or in and got clocked.

you get points just for using balderdash...

Also, I'm not really a schemes guy, so I'm confused how this "mirrored" offense is different than a two TE set? I apologize for the ignorance that is probably behind this question.. Thanks in advance.

There isn't two TEs on the field is one difference.

There is a weak side and a strong side. One side overloaded, like a TE, a tackle and then a guard = strong side.

Weak side is a tackle and a guard.

Oversimplification but that's the gist of it.
