Why do small, fast backs NEVER work...

[SouthpawTN]

Uh no. TnT had his great season in 90. Really some poor recent Vol history knowledge on display in this thread.

I'd rather have big and fast as opposed to small and fast.

Agility and quickness are different skill sets and the last back we had that excelled in those areas was Travis Stephens.

We don't run a predominant read-option offense. Which I never want to run, BTW...just give me a big back with a good O-line...

 

[StoVol]

greg amsler and roland poles... very small backs

Behold the "Legends of the Spring".

lol..... Wish these guys could have played at that level during the season.

Chuck Webb

Webb was mid-sized. Usually ran between the tackles.

Webb=Cadillac Williams

Shotgun formation has killed Tennessee's running game since we started running it on short/medium yardage in the late 2000's IMO

 

[born-n-raisedvol]

Tennessee has had plenty of small, electrifying backs in recent years.

JaKouri Williams, David Yancey, Roy Olasimbo. The list goes on and on.

Could've outran and outsmarted half the members of this board.

 

[DjCrenshaw]

Just have to find the right back. Lamarcus Coker woulda had a great career if it hadn't went up in smoke

oh a pun

 

[WestTNVols]

James "Little Man" Stewart played at 215lbs.
Charlie Garner was to the small side, but not as small as Oregon's James or Florida's Demps.
Tony Thompson is the only really small back we've had of any quality, but he was not in the same league as some of the small backs we've seen of late, such as Oregon's James.

 

[vols-1]

Barry Sanders was 5-8. Short backs are easier to overlook lol

 

[HOAV]

LaMichael James didn't do that great last night. If oregon had a "power" back (which I know doesn't exist in the spead) would've probably won that game. Fairley looked exhausted in the middle of the 3rd quarter.
