Defense Scheme question

[HankHill]

Now that we have CSS,

Especcially if we get Mcculores (sp?)

Think we will gradually switch to a 3-4?

 

[gardners_51609]

I can see that...especially now that we are getting some depth at the LB side of the ball.

If we land the big boy McCullers and Sentimore pans out, then I see 3 - 4 being likely. But more of the way UGA uses it than BAMA...

This will only happen if Santos and Peters are ahead of their years and ready for SEC ball. Also, I am not convinced that J Smith wouldn't be a great starting LB next year...

Dooley is doing some serious work... This weekend will be huge for recruiting. All should be right in VN come next week!

 

[BruinVol]

This question should be asked today at the presser. Hopefully DD will share with us what SS plans to implement.


Whatever the plan is will be discussed with recruits this weekend so we should know soon if not today.

They also mentioned this on the sports animal also.

 

[Ericvol2096]

We have the LB's. We have big DE's too.

Just need McCullers and another big boy to come down and get us some NT's.

Alan Carson just got excited.

Does SS have experience with 4-3 defense? - I know DD has stated before he likes his defense to be a base "4-3" with multiple sets. I don't see us trying to go to a 3-4 with whats at stake for Dooley next year - just don't have time

 

[06'Vol]

Looks like we are moving to a 3-4 base D.


Vols_Beat I'm told Sal Sunseri will be bringing a 3-4 scheme with him for Vols to install.

 

[VOL6479]

It took UGA 2 years to install their 3-4 and they struggled with it bad the first year.

 

[orangepeopleeater]

can the 3-4 be successful in the SEC?

 

[Vol_Doc]

Don't have the talent to run an effective full-time 3-4. If we get McCullers, which seems probable, we may use it occasionally.

 

[VolunteerVandiver]

Once we land McCullers, we will have the personnel for it.

 

[n_gerard07]

just landed him.

so says the recruiting thread.

 

[gardners_51609]

link? But I agree I would love the 3-4. It is what the pros are using and the best defenses in CFB!

 

[FearlessFreep]

It appears we now have the personnel for it - McCullers just committed per Austin Price.

He's a NT all the way.

 

[06'Vol]

All the twitter feeds are confirming that we are moving to a base 3-4, and that we just landed a big DL recruit.

 

[papatomany]

Since we'll be moving away from the 4-2-5 that we overused last year, I don't know why he wouldn't go ahead and start implementing whatever he really wants. But, yeah, common "wisdom" seems to be that you can't implement a 3-4 from scratch in one season. We won't know what Sunseri thinks about that til practice starts.

My first prediction is: no matter what we run next year, Maggitt gets at least 6 sacks.

 

[Recoil]

can the 3-4 be successful in the SEC?

sarcasm meter pinged big time on that one. :lolabove:

 

[FearlessFreep]

Which would also explain the shift in LB types that caused Dooley to say 'look around'

 

[Vol'n]

Yep, McCullers is all Vol!!! Just confirmed on govolsxtra.com.

 

[06'Vol]

It appears we now have the personnel for it - McCullers just committed per Austin Price.

He's a NT all the way.

Yep. 380lbs worth, apparently.

 

[johncimino19]

this will allow jacques to move to the OLB/Pass rushing role that is best for him

 

[bamawriter]

While McCullers is a great pickup for the NT, UT's size along the line isn't going to lend itself to the 3-4 this coming year. You have to essentially have 3 DTs along the line (and the depth needed to give them a breather), and your OLBs have to be DEs who can stand up and play coverage.

It isn't an easy transition.
