Will Tennessee be running a true "No Huddle Offense"


Well I guess no one truly knows until the step onto the field in a few weeks, but some teams run a wannabe "No Huddle Offense" (still huddling between plays even though it's not a time out....)

Any thoughts?

Either way I'm excited to see what Coach Cut has in store for us!!!

If they are going to, I think Cal is the perfect place to try it. It is on the road so they can see if the communication holds up in an adverse environment. But it is not like a SEC road environment, so they don't have to deal with that on their first try at it.

I'm sure it will be some form of the no huddle, but I say we may ditch it after a few poorly run routes. I'd like to see them take their time personally, grinding down the clock and having everyone on the same page. Don't know how the no huddle would do in the Swamp. Just My Two Cents.

My only problem with it is the fact that we have little depth on the defensive front. IMO the no-huddle will not give the D any time to rest.

We ran no huddle in the scrimmage. CPF thinks it actually helps the newcomers because they don't have alot of time to think and just have to react.

It will not be a HUNH. It will just be a no huddle so they can make adjusments at the line and to keep the D on their toes.

I don't know how often we'll see it, but it will be nice to have a few tricks up our sleeve. The no huddle, plus potential G Jones or L Taylor at QB will gives defenses more to prepare for.

It sounds like CDC has wanted to run the no huddle for a while now, so I think he's committed to using it. Of course, if it bombs the first few times there might be an early retirement.

We tried a form of this once before, in 04, where we look at the sideline to get the play. Our OL got worn down seemingly fast.

I personally would like to see the return of the I formation or a variation of it, and get ourselves back to physically beating teams up.

Our OL was very hampered with injuries in 04. It didn't have much to do with fatigue. And either way, this OL is in much better shape. Coach Cut set weight limits for each player to get to and every OL met his goal. Actually, I think all players made weight.

We have no true FBs so we can't line up in the straight I. Running a two TE with one lining up as a HB from motion quite a bit is as close as we will get other than in goal line situations.

I don't even think Cooper is a true FB at this point. He is closer to a HB right now. Bartholomew will be a true FB next year, as will Cooper if he gains a little weight.

yeah i dont think not having a "FB" next year will hurt us... we've been wo one since 2001. TEs will do fine at HBack

Wasn't that what Vols did when Ainge was freshman? They would not huddle, just come to the line, look at the defense, Ainge would back out and look to the side line for the play.

It will be the type of no huddle that we see the colts run. Not a hurry up 2 minute type. The oline will be fine with it and the D will have the same amount of time as if we huddle. This is a good thing.

The fatigue effect should be on the defense if it is managed right. The Vols can constantly change the tempo depending on what they need to do. If Ainge stays active like Peyton does, opposing DL's will be in their stance about 5-15 seconds longer than they normally would. It doesn't sound like much but staying tense like that will take a toll.

Exactly.

You are completely right, BUT, to sell them needing to be in the "ready" position, our OL will have to look ready to go, meaning strain on them too... Sure, it wont be AS bad b/c they'll know what they are doing, but dont fool yourself into thinking that this is going to somehow kill the DL's energy and do nothing to ours.
