'18 FL DT Kingston Harris (UT signee)

[Ron Swanson]

Is he a NT or the outside DT type?

This is from a VQ article after he committed...

They talked about Harris’ future role on Tennessee’s defense as a versatile 6-foot-4, 265-pound lineman. During his senior season at IMG, Harris recorded 2.5 sacks and 4.0 tackles for loss. “We talked about the defense a lot,” Harris said. “They said they were doing a 3-4 and 4-3 looks, so I’ll be playing just everywhere almost. Nose guard, nose tackle and end.(Rocker) is a a great coach. I felt like we’re going to get along really well and he’s going to teach me the game and we’ll go from there.”

It’s great that they think he can play anywhere.

 

[Biopsyman]

We were told on signing day that he was already 300 pounds

247 currently lists him at 285

 

[butchna]

247 currently lists him at 285

When did they last put him on a scale?

 

[Rasputin_Vol]

After Sunseri left, I thought all of the sheep had their belly full of 3-4... Now all of a sudden it is the best thing since sliced bread.

Don’t know

But if they’re listing him at 285, he could easily be 300 now. Right ?

 

[you]

Probably offensive guard

Because the 3-4 has never been successfully implemented anywhere?

Maybe it was the implementer....

It's going to take time. We had one year if it with Sunseri and subpar talent and coaching

 

[PA Vol]

No

Yes.

Apparently Kurott Garland is 300 As well:rock:

You’re right. A 3-4 led by Sunseri is the exact same thing as a 3-4 led by a competent Defensive Coordinator. No context needed.

Lol 2 people so far have actually liked this. Smh

Bruin and Chief be like....

 

[wildorange]

I don't think we will be exclusively one type of defense. More of a hybrid, but the 3-4 will probably be primary over time. Pruitt has said we were going to run multiple types of defense. The key is being coached, something that has been lacking. GBO!!!!

 

[wmcovol]

Tennessee doesn't have a strong NT to run a consistent 3-4

Actually we just signed a bulldozer named Gooden

 

[awaitingawin]

I never saw a 3-4 i liked...never

 

[NeverWe'llSever]

I never saw a 3-4 i liked...never

Then clearly, you don’t watch a lot of football.

I loathe Alabubba. But that defense though.

The anti-D4H

Actually if you watch the Alabama defense you will notice most of the time they actually have 4 or 5 men on the line of scrimmage....the WLB and SLB linebackers are right there..
Watch the Tennessee-Alabama game last year...

All coaches have their own variations of the 3-4 and it is just according to which offensive scheme they are going up against..

You have to have the big guys that can fill those running lanes and linebackers that attack and can get off blocks or the offensive blocking schemes will kill you..

My preference is a standard 4-3 with big men one on one and pressuring the QB with stunting and a great blitz package

Hey! That’s MY point! :aggressive:

What you’re calling a 5 man front or “5 men on the line of scrimmage” is a 3-4
