I checked first 2 pages to see if there was a thread about this already... merge if I missed it.

AJ's speed issues are largely imagined. Dude did fine last year at OLB.

I think Fugate is the best running back on the team. Not sure why he has not been given much of a chance to prove himself. I hope he makes an outstanding linebacker.

Best RB on the team? How did you conjure up that opinion?

I really like the move and think he has a lot of potential as a LB - he is a perfect athlete for a MLB - also when you have 3 WR's like we will have and some ability at TE you just aren't going to run too many sets with a FB - this is a position that every year is becoming less and less used so if you have a great athlete at that position it makes sense to give him a shot somewhere else

I think the practice report said Rod Wilks was ahead of Orta? maybe. Don't hold me to that though.

AJ will be in the middle, but in the 3-4 set, there are 2 MLB's. That's when Curt would be playing MLB. That is if the experiment works out well. Fugate asked CDD to give him a try at LB since his playing time greatly decreased at FB last year. Funny thing was that this time last year coaches were talking about getting Fugate more involved in the offense. Something went wrong there.

With McNeill coming in; Waggoner, Lanier or Gordon could also play safety if really needed.

At least for now. Orta is brand new back there. McNeill coming in.

I would be very surprised if Mcneil doesnt find his way into the Fall 2deep but he won't be here for Spring to my knowledge

I think CDD tries everything he can to keep Pwag at corner - he is much more effective at corner

I wouldn't say he's the best on the team, but his HS film was really impressive. Saw him just pull away from DB's with great regularity. But it doesn't matter that much if the offense isn't going to utilize the FB too often.

I hope we run a lot of 4 wides out of the Pistol. That would be very, very hard to defend, with the WR's we have.

I thought Austin Johnson was real good for us last year at lb and I think he also played fullback originally

all depends on how bad he wants to play. he has to decide that.
