Stack the box?

[Eric the Red]

Does Pelini put more than 4 DL in the game? blitz more to stop the run. Or sit back in a basic set?

[Moiraine]

10 DL and Gregory, all on the line. No one to cover the wideouts. Ron Kellogg will have to come back to play one of the DL 'cause we don't have enough and he looks the part.

[Hunter94]

both teams will likely stack the box.

[Eric the Red]

Have we ever seen Nebraska do this in the traditional sense. I have seen others obviously do it.

[True2tRA]

Bend, don't break.

[ShawnWatson]

Stack the box, that's how other teams beat Wisconsin. If you make them throw they are screwed.

Lets hope Stave gets the yips..or lips...or bips...or whatever "ips" it was he had

Agree. Don't know if I can ever recall us stacking the box.

[BIGREDIOWAN]

Pelini probably won't change his defense so much that it become a problem due to knowledge to be honest with you. Wisky is one dimensional, simple as that, stop the run, they lose. How we do that? I have no idea........

[The Dude]

I don't anticipate any drastic changes. Midway through the 2nd quarter it will be clear Pelini didn't watch the Wisconsin-Northwestern film.

[JJ Husker]

I have never seen a Pelini team sellout to stop the run to the same extent other teams are willing to sellout to stop us. That is either serious disrespect of our passing game or some extreme stubbornness on Bo's part or both. I sure would like to see us stack the box like that but I doubt it happens. I think The Dude ^^^^^ nailed it.

[swmohusker]

Depends on personnel. 10 or 11 I doubt it. 12, 22, or 21 u bet we stack dat box. Doesn't make sense to stack box if in spread personnel. Could also depend on who is qb. If stave u at least respect pass. With tanned u play like northwestern with main colter

[PaulCrewe]

Zero coverage

[cg_8]

Am I to believe everyone thinks that we change our personnel, therefore change the assignments for everyone? I can get going to nickel, dime, and even dollar. Those are packages that only a few players have to understand and adjust to. But going to 5 DL or significant change down front changes the scheme.

 

To me, that sounds like confusing our D more than helping our D.

I

I am actually more worried about the edges than I am down front with their backfield. So I sense more speed to counter their speed.

We don't line up extra guys in the box but we play our safeties much more aggressively than most teams. So while we will probably only have the traditional seven in the box most of the time - we do walk a safety up to be an extra guy in the box against certain formations - you'll see the safeties flying up to the line as soon as they see run.

 

Gerry has made a lot of tackles on running plays at or even behind the line just by reading and attacking - not a called blitz.
