Interesting take about UT WR Development

I thought this was enlightening when looking at the Vols development of receivers when one scout gave his analysis of Brazzell II.

A freakishly athletic receiver from Tennessee is a draft tradition unlike any other. Brazzell is 6-feet-4 and runs a 4.34 40. Unfortunately, the “deep choice” Tennessee offense does not prepare players for the next level and actually develops bad habits. For example, when a receiver isn’t the primary, they are actually coached to loaf so they can have energy to go deep when their number is called, and there are plenty of “designed loafs” on Brazzell’s film. He lined up to the right and on the outside for a large majority of snaps. His route tree is a big, uncapitalized “t.” He’s either going deep, breaking outside or inside on a dig. Even though he played in the SEC, he’ll likely need a redshirt type of season before playing meaningful snaps.

The above analysis sounds like someone who has an ax to grind. He is lying and doesn't know sht about football.

I don't claim to know the ins and outs of Tennessee's offense. But I do know that no one is ever coached to loaf. If a play is designed away from you then you get your ass down field and block, be in position to tackle an interceptor or pick up a fumble. You can't make a play if you're not around the football.

If yall have read enough of my posts you know I’m rarely slow to criticize coaches/players but I think this is stupid. Maybe the NFL needs to takes notes from Josh Heupel on this one. His offenses are consistently among the best in college football and the offense has proven to work well enough against great defenses to beat anyone. If it takes a “designed loaf” to beat a cornerback for 6 then I say loaf your heart out. The idea that our receivers are suffering in the NFL because they took a few plays off by design is absurd

No we definitely have plays that are designed for 1/2 the field which allows our WRs on the opposite side to catch their breath. It usually shows up as them pretending to run block and it’s one of the main reasons why we are so effective at running an up tempo offense. A wise NFL coach would takes notes and experiment with it themselves. This scout is retarded.
