You know when Chavis started having problems at UT? when flummo gave up and left him out to dry with no running game, no passing game and expected the defense to come out and play the larger percentage of the game...

Chavis has designed some stunts, blitzes and coverages that are just brutal. Chavis will have a big day against Bama. He will account for at least one turn over, and the QB will not go unsacked all day.

The Coach Chavis defense made me understand how to read a QB’s drop. Fans don’t understand there’s a difference in body movement on a 3-step, 5-step and 7-step drop. He made me understand combination routes. For example, if one receiver does an out, the complementary route is a curl, etc. He also taught me each year at Tennessee that you should understand all the OTHER positions. You can tell an average player from a great player. Great players know what everyone is doing or close to it.
I saw evidence of this in a game earlier this year when an LSU defender on a end-around blitz recognized the play, reversed and dropped back into coverage and deflected the pass. Even the announcer commented on that being the sign of a smart defense.


Great post. Thanks.

Something ive been saying for a while now. Some posters need to get this through their heads.

The steak question made laugh out loud. What's funnier is I can see it

Great interview.

Great read Larry. Now I understand why I enjoy watching the defense as much if not more that the offense.
