Why no linebackers?

CDD is putting together a great class right now. I'm completely stoked, he's signed some great lineman and is still in play for even more. But I keep noticing that we havent signed a single serious MLB prospect, nor do we even seem to be in the hunt for any.

Any comments on why this is so? Are we planning on moving a RB prospect to MLB? Or going with what we already have?

But other than my bIatching about MLB's, I'm more than satisfied with this class so far.

Lookit kid. Dawson is 6'2" 230 rite now. He is athletic enuff to stay at a lb position if we need him at middle he'll play middle, outside it'll be outside. Moving players around to other positions is an actual possibility get it thru ur THICK SKULL. jesus:banghead2: :blink:

Oops, you keep forgetting to log in under the same name. You really should only have one name here. I understand why you're often embarrassed and need a new name, I would to if I had made an a$$ of myself like you, kid.

A year or two doesn't make a long term trend.

The 3-4 comes and goes in the NFL. There will often be several years go by where no one runs it. Then, someone starts. The offenses aren't used to seeing it. It is disruptive and works great because noone wants to revamp their offense for the one or two games a year they play a 3-4 team. Others copycat. They have success as well, but rarely equal to the trend setter. Then, the league achieves a certain degree of saturation. The novelty is gone. Teams have redesigned offenses and game plans. The 3-4 is exposed. Everyone goes back to the 4-3. Its cyclical.

Parcells has ran it since the 80's.

LeBeau has ran it for a long time in Pittsburgh.

Dont forget new england... It isnt a gimmick. There havent been "years" when it hasnt been run. It takes very different personnel and so an organization has to have coaches familiar with it and it must commit to completely revamping their def roster. Thats why you dont see it as much. Pitts and new eng have consistently had two of the best defenses around while using the 3-4.

There has never been a cycle of "revamping" offenses for the 3-4 and then it "going away"

So, I never said it. T

In the future, just admit it and move on, life will be much easier.

I figured you gave up. Glad to have you back.

Re-read my previous post. It explains how you said it. You probably won't though, and I don't blame you. It's pretty ****ing long.

To save you time, here's a simple example of what I'm accusing you of: Someone says, "The car is green." You say, "The car is actually blue." Then I say, "Why did you say the car is not green?" Then you answer, "I'll need a link, since I never said the words 'not green' anywhere."

You started it off by saying Dawson is an OLB, and then when someone says that Dawson is also an ILB and asks why can't he count as an ILB we're "in on," you say "because he's an OLB?" Thus, you are then saying you believe Dawson =/= ILB, which through comprehension, comes out "I think Dawson can't be seen as an ILB option."

I should move on instead of wasting my time trying to explain simple logic, especially with a guy who is only capable of forming a "Nuh-uh! I never said that word-for-word!" while he outright ignores the points he's mistaken on. You're clinging to the only part of the argument that you can win, which is cool, but even if you did form an argument to win this point, you'll still lose the proverbial war, if you will. You ignoring my previous post pretty much dignifies that I've won this exchange between us.

Charlie Weiss is the new Offensive Coordinator at UF. He is certainly going to run the pro style offense. The speed they have in all positions will be fine for this style, the transition should go almost unnoticed and Brantley as well as their QB they are signing this year are certainly better equipped for this offense.

================================

You don't just up and decide, hey, we're going to abandon 20 years of spread and start running a pro set. Doesn't matter if Don Shula is your coach.

The Gators aren't built for the Pro Set. Lean OL and the RBs are smurfs.

It is easier to switch from a Pro Set to a Spread, and you saw how long that took at Michigan. Forever, then never.

I miss read this...both schemes rely on things that are completely different and do require some strong foundations to flourish...

Fl only been running the spread for 5 years. But that doesnt matter as far as the roster goes - its all geared for the spread. Im not sure how lean their line is, but your right, they dont have a tailback on campus. And i dont care what offense you run, their receivers look awful. My only fear is that they were bad just because of bad coaching and thats changing.

Reading comprehension problems, much?

He is an OLB, not an MLB. I know both positions end with 'LB', but there IS a difference. I guess for the casual fan, it's hard to know that.

As a serious fan, thought you might have known that Harris played and made GA All-State team as MLB. By all reports, he is now up to 235.

No idea where any of the LBs will end up. However, I know that a label applied by a recruiting service does not determine where the recruit will play in college...just their best guess.

You can only run a 34 Defense if you have that "ELITE" NT!

Still trying to prove I said he can't play MLB without providing a link?

Pathetic.

lmao

Just admit you were wrong and move on. You're looking foolish.

p.s. I didn't even read your reply. I just scanned it for a link, and when I saw none, i hit 'quote' and replied.

lol

I don't know about elite, but you do need a big one with enough skills to pull two blockers and still hold your own. A lot of personel requirements are different. 4-3 personnel running a base 3-4 generally equals disaster. Epic rushing numbers...
