I am curious as to how you guys feel about the no huddle being ran this year.It goes with out saying that it could be a very good or a very bad thing of course if the offense gets in a rhythm it could work out wonderfully but keep in mind that it could lead us to singing the blues too.I'm not sure so i was wondering what you guys think.
GO VOLS!!
As a side note i really liked to hear CPF say that our boys have become more physical & that they are improving on the D-line.

havent heard that much about it the past week, but I suppose that is because of Ainge's injury. Crompton and Stevens probably don't run it nearly as well.

Look for UT to try it one series against Cal and then it will be forgotten

maybe they can run it like the Bengals in the NFL just at the right time when there in the flow of the game

qb and wr's have to be on the same page. they have to be able to recognize the same coverages and know how each other are going to react to them. same goes for RB's....when it comes to pass protection etc....and the Oline can't be led footed. they have to be in shape to stay in their stance, w/out moving, for quite a long time.

but if you are able to do that, it really puts the pressure on the defense--they can't sub, they get tired, and have no idea what's coming next.

i think it's a great wrinkle to add to the offense, but obviously won't be the exclusive way to run it. change it up series to series or even from set of downs to downs.....could be interesting, and against some of the better SEC defenses, could be a valuable tool.

but all that stuff up top has to happen first, otherwise, you see a lot of 3 and outs and it's your defense that gets tired.

I could see it as a plus if we had the ability to run the football the way we did say in 2004. The opposing D would not know what hit em and when they did find out one of our recievers would be dancing in the endzone and we would be hearing rocky top.But, i'm not sure.

IMO the no huddle shouldn't be new to these guys. I mean they always run the 2-minute drill in every practice and this is only an extension of that.

Problems at WR will cause some struggles for the no huddle.

I've not had a problem with them running the no huddle offense. More times than not it seems very effective. I recall that they used it last season some during their so called two minute offense. I'm all for it.

The no-huddle isn't the same as the 2-minute drill.

The no huddle doesn't necessarily increase the pace of the game if you don't want it to. It just forces the defense to get ready and stay ready sooner and longer.

WR reads aren't any more important than in a huddle offense. Signals are more important though.

That's a hurry up offense. It doesn't huddle, but it's still not the same. If UT runs a no huddle during the normal course of the game, they won't be snapping the ball with 20 seconds left on the play clock.

Thanks. I do have a good bit of football knowledge for a 47 year old woman but I sure don't claim to know everything, except that I'm a big UT fan. :)

A lot of people have the same misconception. If UT runs the no huddle it will be more like the Colts do it. They go to the line, Peyton looks at the defense and makes some adjustments. It ends up taking about as long as a huddling offense.

Thanks for putting that. You beat me to it.

This is why I think we won't see much of the no huddle.

I think the no huddle might be a good time to try out the Lucas Taylor QB package. After an Ainge pass, line Ainge up at WR and Taylor at QB and then quickly snap the ball before the defense has time to adjust.

Yeah. I guess it comes down to (and it might have already been mentioned somewhere in here) how much they use a no huddle and in what situations.

Personally, I feel it's a little ambitious considering the receiver situation.

For the 56986th time, Cutcliffe and Fulmer said they are experimenting with it. I guarantee NOBODY can find a source where it quotes the coaches saying "We're changing our offense to a no huddle offense."
