Around SBN: Devils Beat Rangers, Head To Stanley Cup Finals

RTT Podcast Tonight at 9:00 ET with Bud Elliott and Chris Pendley

On tonight's RTT podcast, Will, Brad, and I will be joined by Bud Elliott of SBN's powerhouse FSU blog Tomahawk Nation, who will talk to us about why size matters along the defensive front seven (be sure to pre-read his article on this in the Volunteers Kickoff preseason annual), and our own Chris Pendley, who will join us to discuss the fantastic article on Jim Chaney's offense that he contributed to the annual.

Hope to see you on the podcast tonight. Here's the pertinent info for that:

You can listen live by clicking the sometimes magic orange widget below. Or you can wait, download it later, and listen to it in your car on the way to work tomorrow.

Interesting one tossed about on Anchor of Gold today

How does a possible Miami implosion impact the likelihood of the SEC being able to expand there?

by VolnVA on Aug 17, 2011 7:37 PM EDT up reply actions  

it's my understanding that Chaney's system prefers a TE or WR3 to a FB

But how does that work in practice when Fugate is vastly more experienced (and/or beastly) than any of the TEs or WR3 candidates? You have a good guess as to how that’ll all play out?

also, it comes to mind that we're continuing to recruit the Fugate position (see: Hill)

so it seems we do have it in the longterm plans, whatever we do with it

Just went through Bud's article in the annual

and if you replace the projected starters of Lathers, Vereen, and Bohannon with the actual starters (as of now) of Johnson, Maggitt, and Walls, you increase the size of the front seven by 75 pounds, bringing the total from 1729 to 1804 (If Ben Martin replaces Marlon Walls, drop it back to 1790). That’s suddenly a decently-sized front seven, and really goes to show how much bigger the newcomers are than the old hands.

Ask/receive

If either of you are interested, it’s in this thread. I recommend going through the comments and paying attention to bobo’s from the beginning up until the comment at 9:30 PM EST. (This one.)

The reactions that follow capture it well, and it stuck after Joel followed that thread up with this Talking Points the next morning. (The comments there are pretty good too.)

I don't know how you found it

but I had to backtrack through the pages the long way. I found the date first and zeroed in on it somewhere around page 457. I had forgotten about that TP, though, until I saw it again while trying to find the game thread.

For the record, I voted Bostradamus.

There's a GameThreads filter somewhere on the dashboard

where you can also narrow it down to Tennessee Basketball. I only know this because I’ve gone looking for that thread in the past the way you just did tonight. I need to bookmark it.

You're lucky.

We’ve all had our moments, but yours was at least awesome enough to be worth remembering. You’re more legend than anything else.

Remember, mine was stumbling on an 80s article from the New York Times and thinking that USC had been put on probation (waaaaay before they actually were). I even checked the date! (Too bad they had two dates on the page – the date of the article and the current date. I saw the latter and not the former, and it looked like the actual publish date to me.)

Yours is way better.

Brad,

I ran the numbers at the end of last season. Our third down conversion percentage with Simms and Jones is identical to the percentage with Bray and Jones. The terrible percentage all comes from the GJ injury

having a short passing game is a huge boon, I totally agree

I just think that it’s better to have a good short passing game and a good running game than just looking for short passing to do everything.

that's my biggest worry about this whole "let's just do short passing" thing

Sports Animal doesn't have the Dooley interview from Wednesday up by itself

but you can listen to it here until they refresh it with Thursday’s 5:45 segment. Dooley comes on at around the four minute mark – it’s a really good interview.

You can also get some quotes from it from The Sports Animal’s Twitter feed.

by Will Shelton on Aug 17, 2011 10:51 PM EDT reply actions  

Again, let me stress

most of Dooley’s interviews are really good. This one is really, really good – it’s got Bray stuff with the 10 of 20 for 200 yards vs 18 of 20 for 105 yards conversation we mentioned in the podcast, but also Dooley’s thoughts on Texas A&M and Miami, scheduling FCS teams, and more.

great stuff

although the link you sent cuts off part of the interview—right in the middle of the question about the size of the recruiting class. No FCS scheduling discussion or anything.

I do like his “if we’re playing I-AA, we should do it in-state” comments.

And I always love his shoutouts to the fans. I heard he had the team run ALL the Neyland steps, got them up in the upper deck and told the players that there were 102,000 people watching them each week, and they need to be running for the people up there in the nosebleeds. As someone who sits up in the nosebleeds, I appreciate that. Bet some of the players had never even been up there.

Knew there was something else I meant to post

here’s the recap of the Drew Brees vs. Ron Dayne game from 1998 when Chaney was at Purdue.

Brees, again, in regulation: 55 of 83, 494 yards, 4 TD, 2 INT
Dayne: 33 carries, 129 yards. Commitment to the run game is when you’re only getting 3.9 per and you still decide to give your back 33 carries.

Looks to me like his linebackers were tested more than his secondary.

A 66% completion percentage for only 6 yards/pass isn’t throwing the ball very far.

The 3.9ypcarry is generally considered a better mark than 6yppass, if I remember right. Those 4 interceptions are the reason why.
