ScottyIce Posted December 11, 2014 Share Posted December 11, 2014 (edited) We have the DL but not the LB's... I hope we stick 4-3 for now... Too many good DL's Edited December 12, 2014 by Mavric Split this out of the Carlos Davis thread. Good discussion just didn't need it clogging up his thread. 1 Quote Link to comment
blarson3 Posted December 11, 2014 Share Posted December 11, 2014 We have the DL but not the LB's... I hope we stick 4-3 for now... Too many good DL's I agree. Also think the 4-3 fits the Big Ten style of play better (IMO). Quote Link to comment

Also think the 4-3 fits the Big Ten style of play better (IMO). I agree as well. We have the bodies for the starting group, but we would be super thin/young. Wisky (outside of the CCG) has done pretty dang good with the 3-4. Quote Link to comment
SouthLincoln Husker Posted December 11, 2014 Share Posted December 11, 2014 We have the DL but not the LB's... I hope we stick 4-3 for now... Too many good DL's Disagree. Bo's defense was wait and react. I think Banker's defense is react, which should play to the strengths of our LBs. Quote Link to comment

Bo's defense was wait and react. I think Banker's defense is react, which should play to the strengths of our LBs. Um.. what are you disagreeing about? We CLEARLY didn't have enough LB's last year and we lose two, possibly three if C. Lee leaves? I'm not saying the LB we have suck, I'm saying we don't have ENOUGH of them... Whereas we have VV, Collins, Williams, Maurice, Newell, McMullen and possibly Moss & Gregory with hopefully Jones and the Davis Twins coming in. Clearly stronger at DL, why would we take more of them off the field? 1 Quote Link to comment
swmohusker Posted December 11, 2014 Share Posted December 11, 2014 If we play any 3-4 it would be as a package and not our base if I had to guess. The OLBs in a 3-4 can be athletic ends who primarily hold the edge or at least one of them is rushing the qb on passing plays. Moss, King, and some of our other athletic DE could play an OLB position. Leaving us only 2 spots to fill with traditional LB's at our SAM and WILL spots. Could be a good package against some teams but I doubt it would become our base defense. Quote Link to comment

Clearly stronger at DL, why would we take more of them off the field? Agreed (and don't forget RFr Sedrick King at DE). Our LBs for next year look like Santos (Sr), Bando (Jr), Rose (Jr), Love (RSo), M Newby (RSo), Walton (RSo), and Ferguson (Fr) (plus ~6 walk-ons). That's not enough for even two-deep, and then you have the issue of trusting Walton and Ferguson (who are not even at the university yet). Of course, one possibility would be to move or rotate some of the more athletic DE to OLB, i.e., Gregory, King, and Jones. Quote Link to comment

I am not 100% sure. He is listed on the official roster for this year, so my guess is yes. Quote Link to comment
Mavric Posted December 11, 2014 Share Posted December 11, 2014 I think he may have enrolled in summer classes. I think you have to be enrolled to be able to participate with the team. But I'm not sure what all the particulars are as far as full-time, etc. Quote Link to comment

Mavric Posted December 11, 2014 Share Posted December 11, 2014 ^ That's what I think might happen. Unless he didn't enroll full-time and gets a pass. Quote Link to comment
