switching to 3-4 look

I'll double down on that height of stupidity. Don't you pretty much have to have a beast at DT for a 3-4 to work? Who is our "beast?" It isn't Steinkuhler. Valentine is injured and will see little if any time (they want to redshirt him). The only guys who physically fit the mold are Todd Peat, Jr. and Vincent Valentine (both just barely) and they're both injured.

I'm not up on current events. Has anyone with any semblance of credibility confirmed this?

Do you guys really think Steinkuhler at 6-6 can play the nose! I don't! He's gonna get double teamed and if he dosent stay fairly low he's gonna look like he's on skates! I love him as an end as he could set the edge but as a nose guard I think he's way to tall! The ideal NG is 6-1 310. I don't think we have one of those...

I think Jay Guy fits that mold 6-1 310 but haven't herd his name mentioned since the mn game last year.

Jay Guy can be found on the bottom of the depth chart. I never understood that offer, he always looked "sloppy" big for someone that is suppose to be a good athlete. The exception to that rule would be Wilfork,and Raji....

No

 
sounds like it could look like this

DT /DE

NT Stien

DE

Nickel LB Evans Jackson Cooper

LB Anderson/Santos Whaley

LB Compton

LB Martin

Sounds like they will use the 4th OLB as a Hybrid nickel (Evans) so he can still cover the slot if need be. Perfect for E Mart imo. Just turn that dude loose.

Do you mean Nose Tackle? Because my limited actual knowledge of football scheming tells me you need one in this defense.

I'm officially intrigued.

It's a cool story though...

 
I'm not sure we've seen any of the true freshmen LB's take the field this year. But I will say the 3-4 fits real well with Afalava, Rose, Brown, Banderas, Newby, and Love.

As for this year I don't think we'll ever see more than 3 true linebackers on the field at the same time. Will either have Cooper or Evans playing that nickle spot or maybe/hopefully Jackson.

My guess:

Ankrah (the nose tackle) (the other D end)

Green Evans/Cooper Anderson/Santos Compton Cooper/Santos Seisay/Mitchell

Stafford Smith

It's so hard to know who should see playing time anymore.

It is impossible to know if any of those guys will work out for us.... A couple of them aren't even on campus yet!
