Enter SBBI hope he does both.
What we've learned in this league is that there is a lot of passing and
the more people on their feet ready to defend the pass the better.
#18 was a blitzing LB more than anything. No matter what you call the
alignment, we need another one of these
which I hope they don't do. just play to the players strengths.Maybe they'll convert. Otherwise fitting a square into a perfect circle can mean a horrible season.
Well, if we can't recruit big DTs, then we don't want to run a 3-4. We've had only a few guys come through here that are big enough to be over center or even a 1T. Even NFL teams are getting smaller on defense. I have no problem with a 4-3.Well it looks like RS is committed to the 4-3 defense because now we are recruiting more DTs. Many of them aren't very big or rated high. Why not get a higher rated LB and play 3-4 instead of a lower rated DT and play a 4-3?

So to answer your question. You need a massive DT to be able to take up a center and a guard in a 3-4. If you just get better linebackers in a 3-4 but have a small tackle, the middle of the field is free for 4-7 yard runs.
Hill seems to be the only tackle we have that could play well in a 3-4 and I'm guessing we have one more year with him. I don't think we have the depth to run it for more than a few snaps a game. A 2 tackle set allows for more rotation and let's Jasinski do his thing a little better.Agree. However, we've been fine with getting a massive DT in each recruiting cycle the past few years. Now we have to get 2. We've had trouble recruiting quality DLs. I would rather depend on 3 DLs rather than 4. Plus nobody runs in this conference.
I get what you're saying, but a lot of those offenses are still run first and you need to fill those gaps.A 4-3 is a good defense against a pro-style offense, which is what most of the SEC is. I'm not sure there is a pro-style offense left in the AAC, UCF and Cincy were probably the last. Everything is spread or triple option with almost everyone having dual threat QBs. 3-4 just seems like a much better scheme to defend that.
That's not accurate at all. There are players on there that graduated years ago.Is it a commitment to the 4-3 or just a reflection of us desperately needing DTs? I was looking at the scholarship commitments page on 247 the other day and was surprised at how light we are showing at that position and at OLB (not sure how accurate it is though and it's definitely not up to date).

I can see that, we did give up a lot of yards to mobile QBs this year.I get what you're saying, but a lot of those offenses are still run first and you need to fill those gaps.
Also, a dual threat QB needs to be kept in check up the middle by tackles filling those lanes. Look what happened to Auburn when their tackles got lazy and pushed out of the running lanes. Milton scorched them by foot.
That's fixed with a spy.I can see that, we did give up a lot of yards to mobile QBs this year.
Then you've lost a guy in coverage and still might have gap problems.That's fixed with a spy.
You spy an OLB. Leave everyone else in coverage.Then you've lost a guy in coverage and still might have gap problems.
3-4 Or 4-3 Or 5-2, it doesn't really matter. It depends on how you scheme and what type of athletes you have on the field. Small lineman can drop into coverage and large linebackers can fill gaps in the run game. LSU had a 3-2-6 with 6 DBs. That would cover the field well.
Shaquem could rush the QB, play the run and was decent in coverage. If we had 5 of him, then we run a 3-5-3 or whatever gets them on the field.
I trust that Shannon is smart enough to get his best players on the field doing what they do best in whatever defense works.
Yeah, I was just being a contrarian there. I actually have no problem with what you wrote. It's probably one of the dumbest things I said all day and I constantly say stupid shit.You spy an OLB. Leave everyone else in coverage.
