'15 NC DT Shy Tuttle (UT commit 9/26/14)

Absolutely. We are already seeing it. There has been a few times this year where O'Brien, O. Williams, and Burnett lined up on the line with Maggit, Weatherd, AJ, and JRM playing standing up. What to watch for going forward this season will be Veeren, Maggit, and Weatherd on the field at the same time on passing downs. Those three guys wreck havoc when they are on the field together.

But those are not true 3/4 base looks. That is an adjustment in passing situations against mobile QB's that allows us to use Weatherd as a spy. His primary responsibility is to make sure that the QB is contained.

Our under front is however a 3(or 5 man, same thing) front. And we play that a lot against 21 and 12 personnel.

We have run bear fronts multiple times. That doesn't get anymore 3-4. You can call it what you want, but when you are putting 4 true LBs on the field you are running some form of a 3-4 look. You can call it a Leo 4-3. I don't care what you call it. Weatherd has blitzed up the middle on almost every 3 down look we've put on the field. Last year we ran a true QB spy and Brewer would literally sit in a 30 or 40 4-5 yards off the line of scrimmage and wait for the QB to take off. Weatherd is being used a true pass rusher, and it's coming through the A or B gap almost every time. We are blitzing out of these hybrid looks over 50% of the time. We are never going to go to a 4-0-4 defense like Bama etc does. Our d-lineman are almost always playing a 1 gap responsibility other then the few times we line a NT in a 0 technique.

It will help us use all these DTs. We can play 3 of them at a time, and then put Vereen and Weatherd on the edge. Then Maggit and JRM inside.

I think we should also see a lot of the under front with Maggit and Veeren at DE and Weatherd blitzing from strong side. AJ has improved greatly in his pass protection which has allowed us to blitz 5 players at a time some plays. JRM is such a good tackler in space that he locks down the weak side in under fronts. Plus, JRM can jam TEs and Slot WRs really well too. We are starting to get the players to run multiple variations out of the same front. Joe Henderaon next year should also add a new deminsion to this team as he can pass rush standing up as well. I'm pretty sure he clocked around a 4.7 40 in high school so he's pretty athletic.

Who's this Burnett guy you speak of? Is he new? Lol jk.
 
They might be worried about QD. I know he is in high school, but he has been pretty careless with the pigskin so far this season. Sounds like a Tyler Bray clone.

How is he a Bray clone? They are nothing alike. Kid missed his entire JR yr, supposedly doesn't have much of an OLine, is mobile and not a headcase. Don't get that comparison.

not to mention a bunch of 5'9 WR's with a bunch of very avg high school talent trying to throw into very tight windows
 
Just to pound home the state of UNC football with some stats. Yesterday East Carolina's offense tallied:

10 Touchdowns
40 First Downs
789 Total Yards
439 Passing Yards (9.0 yards per pass attempt)
343 Rushing Yards (7.5 yards per rush attempt)
12-16 on Third Down conversions

Sure, ECU is pretty good but they 'only' scored 52 against North Carolina Central. The UNC defense is making our defense under Sunseri from 2012 look like a hybrid of the '85 Bears and '00 Ravens. I can't imagine why an elite defensive player would want to be a part of that right now. The only thing they can sell is academics but even that has been tainted by their scandal involving academic fraud which is currently under NCAA investigation.

It's Tuttle Time in Tennessee! This will hopefully be the best Friday I've had in a long, long time!

He and McKenzie on the field at the same time will have game announcers gushing and making opposing fans nauseous. By 2016 we will be a nightmare for SEC offenses.
