Freddie Kitchens calling plays

[KingWard]

Was he just back for the TN game? If so, he's a keeper.

I don't know, but I don't think so. The last thing I saw published about this was 9/30. At that time, his return was to be sometime in the future, after 9/30. If he ever returned, it was sometime after then. A friend of mine who is a long-time scholarship donor who attends every game and follows the program closely indicated to me last week that Adkins had not returned.

Ok, since it is out there, I will come clean. It was me who hacked into Satt's headset and helped him call plays.
You're welcome.

Hope you are traveling to Moo Town?

And once again, when you find yourself unable to respond to the point at issue, you resort to ad hominem attacks....the refuge of.......(I'll let you figure that one out).

I suppose once called out for a flaw, doubling down is one option.

There's two different things being talked about, imo. Physically different plays, and calling plays at different times/points of the game or drives.

Thanks, you must have a really grasp of offensive football. As for myself, just today I watched Ga St, Kentucky, TAM, Vandy and Tenn. to a neophyte like me, it all looks the same. I have a tendency to just watch the ball and can’t see all the mechanics. I guess I am like a lot of our fans.

Put that tiger in the tank with the tail dragging the pavement all the way home!

Okay.

We have thrown the ball downfield this year. What was different was there were more underneath crossing routes and leveled crossing routes, several with a hot read allowing the ball to get out quickly

Routes that cross in front, behind, and at the safeties. Safeties will usually keep things in front. That gives you the route in front of or just behind LBs. If they LBs drop, you throw the route in front. Not a big gainer, but positive yards. They step up to play action or to cover the underneath route, you throw over top of them. You do those two enough, and the safeties start cheating and that is when you get the long.

Having those two underneath level routes alllows the ball to get out quicker, so you aren’t requiring 3-5 seconds to throw the ball. Also reduces the reads for Rattler.

Not a fan of Satt, but he did a great job calling these Saturday. We also did this against some against Georgia, but have gotten away from it. He also did a good job of getting the ball out quick to playmakers in space.

I just don't understand where this type of offense has been all year and why would you wait until the 11th game of the year to change it up??? Had we played like that against Florida, Missouri and Arkansas, we would easily have 1 loss and that would be Georgia.

Except early onRattler was pressing too much and had too many interceptions

 

[WingchunCock]

It is the scheme...not just the plays necessarily. From my understanding, in the true pro-style offense, each play has variations to address what the defense is doing. Each variation requires a read not only by the QB but also by the linemen and recievers and they have to know the scheme so well that they are all on the same page as to which variation is being used....if they aren't on the same page, one lineman can be blocking using one blocking scheme and another can be using a different scheme.....that spells disaster. Same is true with the QB and recievers. By taking all the variations out....you take out the indecisiveness andno simply run the play as called. The o line is not bad, they have talent....they simply were running too complicated a scheme for this level of football.

Yep, you could see the hesitation in many plays this year.

I know there has been plenty of discussion about if Satterfield was calling plays on Saturday or not. I know Shane said he "called" every single play but leads me to questions; was Freddie Kitchens actually calling the plays and Satterfield was relaying those plays to Rattler???

I just looked up Kitchens. He has both Head Coaching, Offensive Coordinator and Quarterback coaching experience in the NFL. I did not know that. Interesting.

As an analyst, Kitchens would be ineligible to coach players including calling plays.
