I Formation (rumor)

[volfan102455]

Rumor has it that CBJ and DeBord are working on installing the forward pass in the TN arsenal.

And a couple of plays from the wishbone as well.

 

[UT 87]

Rumors out of VolCamp that some I formation packages have been installed during the bye week.

Flame on. We marching to Atlanta

Butch has this calculated.

Ok, playing fullback takes a lot of practice. You can't just take a player and put him there with a few practice reps. Well you can if you just run one play, but that won't provide much benefit. By the same token your not going to put in a full I package in a few practice sessions. I would expect to see what we used in the bowl game since most teams of the players ran it before. A surprise for SC then every D has to prep for it.

I played fullback. If the play was called as "I right 24". I was the 2 back getting the ball and going up the 4 hole. If it was "I right 34", I would lead block up the 4 hole for the 3 back and so on.

You get the QB's blindside on pass plays. You lead sweeps. You pick up blitzes and blown assignments.

Im sure CMD has it more intricate than that but fullback can be taught in a couple of days to someone familiar with the offense and blocking schemes you've been running all year.

Ok, after 7 pages...are we or are we not practicing the i formation or alternate formation?

Yes it is rumored...and discussed; that is all,

 

[Volniac]

DeBord doing something that makes sense? impossibru

Curt Watson was a heluva fullback.

Actually, wasn't Watson the tailback in the I? Great power runner though. Still remember him crushing Georgia at their place with 200(?) rushing yards.

It worked 3 times then NW recognized it.

It worked way more than 3 times. I just watched about 5 or 6 series and Hurd ripped quite a few 7-10 yard runs.

Yup and he had a wicked awesome pornstache

 

[basspond]

This x1000. I hate this blocking scheme

I would think the players would like to attack some instead of being attacked. Might see some different skill sets.

 

[FightingScott]

Would love to see the I with Hurd. Hell put in a guard at FB.

Hellfahr, man, we got us a punter that weighs in at 248. Put him out there and let 'eem block somebody.

 

[InVOLuntary]

you all do realize if we do run this, and it's successful will probably be just a few times and then go away from it totally?

It will be the power I formation..SC cannot stop the run..they give up over 200 yards a game..Georgia ran all over them and we will too..WE will run the Power I , the PISTOL , and the POWER T formation..Dobbs will throw less than 20 times...WE will roll all over their assses......GBO

plus they had a very nice play action completion to Wolf.

How about the "Wild Kong?"

I remember him hurdling over the line for a TD, landing head first and knocking himself out...

I'm pretty sure he played the next series...

Listed as a fullback, but fullbacks used to get lots of carries. He was a runner more than a lead blocker.

 

[MWAVolfan]

The rumor I heard was the single wing formation and no more forward passes.

 

[MWAVolfan]

Please site one instance when running Hurd up the gut has produced a positive result?

I just watched the highlights of the game against georgia where he had 200 yards...he got about the same number of carries as the TB...basically, he went between the tackles just about every play - sometimes with the ball and sometimes as a decoy/blocker...

I thought that's what Butch has been trying to do for the last 3 and a half years now.

No. We run the spread offense, just not the spread part.

Which year was that.? He shared the backfield with Stanback a bit in his senior season. I'm not sure who else was in the backfield during his time in orange, but he was the best of the RBs while he was here.
