So the depth chart says we are switching to a 4-2-5 (Nickel) defense this week?

Normally we do a 4-3. We definitely need to change something. Hopefully this will help.

We normally do a 4-2-5....which leaves Sammy B off the field. Not sure that's the best option!!! We need Sammy B on the field at all times!!

Most of this year I have been looking at 3 LB's starting the game.***

nope this is the same defense that we used to let Louisville run for 300 yards against . Texas will line up and run right at us . We cant stop the run with 2 linebackers and this likely leaves Sammy Brown once again on the sidelines. This is more clueless coaching by Goodwin and Dabo is just as dumb for letting it happen. This game wont be close and after it is over dabo and Wes still will have clue as to what just happened.

whatever we run, if Brown is not on the field he should transfer

Kid is best we have at linebacker, period.

Ok I see now. I went back and saw that the Nickel is lined up like a LB

Wow, that is nuts that we have been so bad against the run and we still have 5 DB's in nearly every down.

Sammy Brown has only started in 5 games this year. Mainly because of the 4-2-5 scheme that we have gone with.

As long as Woodazz or Carter is on the bench and Sammy is on the field.

Sammy and Barrett needs to work together and have Woodaz help give both of them breathers.

I think the main thing is to have Ashton Hampton on the field more for this run........ which makes sense.


Now everybody tackle.

We will never stop them if we run that. We need 3 LB's on the field.

I feel like I'm in the twilight zone. So we have been running the Nickel already***

I wish still had a guy like Dorian O'Daniel who was perfect in the nickel.

I wouldn’t place to much stock in the depth chart. I really hope these coaches aren’t that ####### blind. Sammy is the leading tackler every game he starts.

I prefer a 4-3-4


I want Sammy in the field at all times.

I doubt we are telegraphing on Monday what we intend to do on Saturday.***

I wouldnt put much stock in the D-scheme that is shown on depth chart

Pretty much every week we show a 4-2-5 defensive alignment.

Why would we telegraph a change to a different alignment?

Couch potato recommendation coming here for W.Goodwin:

Go with a 3-3-5 alignment, with one of our LBs blitzing each TX play in which yardage for a first down is greater than 6 yards.

TX QB Ewers has been noted as very inefficient (v.low QB rating) when pressured. Very mistake prone when pressured.

Each of Woodaz, Carter, and Brown have shown very good blitzing skills. Both Woodaz and Carter are superior as LBs in coverage. Brown is still a work in progress as far as pass coverage, but he isn’t a disaster. Therefore, when it comes to blitzing plays, Brown would be my first choice.

We’ve been 4-2-5 all year.

How about run a 4-1-2-4. Sammy Brown can line up behind the Defensive line and in front of the 2 Linebackers and rove him anywhere from side to middle to side. Or put him in the nickel somewhere. He needs to be on the field. GO TIGERS
