4-2-5 or 4-1-6?

[macroboy]

At the beginning of the game the TV knuckleheads had our starting lineup as 4-2-6 with Compton and David at LB.

Did they just get that from old media materials?

Did we play that D more yesterday?

 

I don't remember even seeing Hagg yesterday. I don't remember a whole lot of Compton either.

 

I have to confess that in the 2nd half I spent more time jabbering with the people around me.

 

Did we run more 4-2-6? If so, doesn't that justify running more 4-2-6?

[macroboy]

I mean 4-2-5.

4-2-6 is cheating.

I thought we ran more of the 4-2-5 last night. I saw alot of David, I saw a little of Compton. What ever the defense we ran it was freakin awesome.

[BIGREDIOWAN]

We ran some 4-2-5 occasionally yesterday. I saw alot of 4-1-6 and a few times saw some 3-2-6 and 3-3-5. Now I'm confused...........

4-2-6 would really be tough to move the ball against

 

I am sure that KU felt like we were running that defense. Compton was actually on the field a bit and was with David at times, giving the 2 LB look.

 

Carl also went back to walking Merideth off to LB and playing a 3 man front. Only negative with this look is that it seems like many times when they run it, the DE lose contain on the QB and they pick up huge gains on QB keeps (Gabbert and KU).

 

All I know is that David is a stud, and Jason Ankrah needs to play a lot more. Allen is way to slow, especially in the 3 man front.

All I know is after many, many beers I couldnt keep up with the numbers. Sometimes i think Carl just makes up these schemes and hopes to go they equal 11.

By the way those commentators sucked last night. I didn't know that once you reach the 5 yd line that equal a TD for the other team. Did anyone else hear that one?

If we ran David/Compton a lot, it must have been a while, huh? I thought we had been running a ton of 4-1-6. Because with Cassidy and Osborne as the starting safeties, a 4-2-5 takes Gomes off the field, and replaces him with Compton. With all due respect to Mike Ekeler's tatoo, Gomes is a baller.

[Jay Green]

Yeah, Bo and Carl has been shifting to use a 3 man front sometimes. Also, I often see us with 3 down linemen with Meredith on the line standing. I think it helps us against the run because it makes it so the backs have to get through more than just one line of defense.

Sometimes when they go to the peso (4-2-5), they move Gomes back to safety in place of Cassidy or Osborne.

Yeah Gomes doesn't come out this year, and he only came out last year because Asante and O'Hanlan were absolute studs playing Safety last year.
