I'm guessing in 4 man nickle fronts as a DE. I doubt they try to make him gain another 50 lbs to get to dt weight.

Not immediately but I see what Hank is getting at.

Also don’t think you have to get to 300 in four down sets if you’re strong enough.

 

[Catbone]

I think this is different. He’s not an edge like they use Darrell Taylor who is technically an OLB.

From what I can gather they are using Crouch as a down lineman.

So Crouch will have his hand in the dirt? Seems a bit small to do that at this point

 

[Kingston Vol]

I’m not buying for one second they are playing a 245lb true freshman as a 3-4 down lineman

He’s gonna be rushing the passer

Both things are true. His hand is in the dirt and his responsibility is to hit the edge and get to the QB.

So in a 4-3 he’s a DE, which is exactly what I said in the post you quoted

Wouldnt it make more sense to try that with Roman than Crouch though given hes played NT in HS and also is naturally strong as an ox? I mean if we're gonna speculate on something crazy that would make more sense to me.

They might be doing it and Roman isn’t ready to get snaps immediately.

I don’t get why posters want to see Crouch at RB when we are hearing buzz he can help us rushing the passer. We have a good stable of RB with plenty of depth and talent. We need all the help we can get getting after the passer

 

[BruinVol]

How was Rashan Evans used at Bama?

Imo that’s that crouch is being groomed to be

 

[AaronUT]

Crouch is making headlines in his first debut. Let’s burn mattresses and complain.

Yeah we need Crouch on defense. Pruitt gonna make sure of it to imo

And it seems to be the right thing to me. I know it is roster wise

I think a lot of people, myself included just think that we already have some talent at DE/Leo and outside of Banks, whos still 20 pounds lighter than Crouch, we dont have that old school hammer back. But as much as id like to see Crouch be the second coming of Jamal Lewis, id honestly rather see him at LB for his career here. The thought of having him, Henry T, Peterson and Roman all as 230+ pound backers who can stop the run and also cover in space is exciting as hell. Those all seem to be guys who are blossoming into Bama level lbs, something we havent had in forever.

 

[Catbone]

Unless we lose a RB or two from injury I agree. Let Pruitt mold him on defense and in a year he will hopefully not be a tweener

Vols run more than a 3-4, that’s just base. They also run a 4-2-5 where he’s the pass rushing DE.

Alabama first-team inside linebacker Josh McMillon, who suffered a knee injury during the team's scrimmage yesterday, is likely out for the season, according to sources.

Time for another 5 star to step in and make a name for himself

They were thin at LB. Remember hearing how much they needed HT.

 

[Catbone]

Lmao

GOTEEEEEEM

9-3 coming this fall

I like the kids answer last week when rain forced the team inside for fan day. He thought we'd win 25 games

 

[volfanCLT]

Which is exactly what I said in the original post he quoted

DE is the same as a 3-4 OLB which is what people here are referencing.

He’s an edge. Call him whatever you’d like depending on scheme

12-13 imo

Tre Sanders lost for the year in the same scrimmage.
