When a team hands out Tier One identities to 3 of it's 4 in the Defensive Backfield, just who would YOU target first (and often) if YOU were the offensive coordinator? It is an outward symbol you don't know who deserves a Blackshirt at that position. Maybe the two on the other side are very good, but fairly equal. It doesn't mean they suck. Quote Link to comment
GSG Posted August 23, 2021 Share Posted August 23, 2021 Wouldn't the guys WITH the Blackshirts have a bigger target on them? I mean they're supposed to be living up to the lofty standards of defenses of yore Quote Link to comment

UniversalMartin Posted August 24, 2021 Share Posted August 24, 2021 6 hours ago, cheekygeek said: I feel for that 4th DB (or 2) because (with no Blackshirt awarded) Frost has just put a big target on THEIR back for Saturday’s game. Expect them to be tested early & often by Illinois. AND if a safety is helping out to that DB’s side, look for Illinois to try to exploit THAT. Frost just made their offensive game plan a bit simpler. (Unless “It’s a trap!”) Is this the first pregame-One that Frost & Co. have handed out Blackshirts instead of playing motivational games with them? If a teams offensive game plan is centered on getting success on players that did not get blackshirts...than as a HC, I go Oprah and "BLACKSHIRTS FOR EVERYONE!!!" 1 Quote Link to comment
