SCAR may switch to 3-4 in 2014 due to lack of numbers on DL


Feb 21, 2014, 6:29 AM

Heard the DC being interviewed on radio and he said the staff is going to Oklahoma to discuss with OU coaches the success OU had in 2013 switching from 4 down lineman to 3 down lineman.

The beginning of the slide?

Why did you say "they?"

Are you saying that Okla isn't any good? They seem to have a pretty good team and it seems logical that a DC would want to learn a different scheme, in case he needs to change it up a little. For a team with such a high powered offense like Clemson, I would be more worried that you can't score more than 17 against a team that you guys think is so mediocre.

Don't be butthurt

He just mentioned changing defensive schemes. He never said anything about mediocre.

Where the #### did he say OU was no good?

Heres the deal


Feb 21, 2014, 8:53 AM

If they are switching to a 3-4 thats a big deal in a bad way for them. If they are just looking at 3 down lineman schemes thats no biggie.

Will destroy then. SC's LB's are small and weak. UGA will run at will.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

This. Their run defense is not good.


Feb 21, 2014, 9:48 AM

Wisconsin was killing them in the run in the first half of that bowl game. I'm not sure how SCar stopped them in the second half, but their run defense was bad all year.

Re: This. Their run defense is not good.


Feb 21, 2014, 11:55 AM

It's called coaching. We adjusted to their blocking scheme.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

I understand that, but you can't coach size.


Feb 21, 2014, 12:25 PM

Your linebackers are small and do not seem too talented. I was surprised that your coaches were able to come up with some scheme that was effective even with undersized linebackers.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Re: I understand that, but you can't coach size.


Feb 21, 2014, 1:48 PM

It's called recruiting players to fit your scheme and coaching them. What's harder to understand is how Clemson has signed 6 or 8 4 and 5 star LB's in the last few classes and can't stop a running quarterback. Actually let me rephrase that, can't even stop Dylan Thompson from running.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

If you had the players you wanted and the scheme you


Feb 21, 2014, 2:19 PM

wanted before the game started (which apparently you did, since they had a scheme that they recruited the players for, far in advance of the Wisky game), then how come you got run over the first half?

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Re: If you had the players you wanted and the scheme you


Feb 21, 2014, 2:50 PM

Planning doesn't always work. Sometimes you just have to let your slow QB rumble to his left on 3rd and 17.

Re: I understand that, but you can't coach size.


Feb 21, 2014, 2:46 PM [ in reply to Re: I understand that, but you can't coach size. ]

But your scheme was a 4-3, you recruited for a 4-3, but now your considering running a new scheme. So it could be a problem by your own logic.

Re: I understand that, but you can't coach size.


Feb 21, 2014, 2:57 PM

You won't see a switch to a 4-3. You might see it mixed in. We definitely have some DL that fit a 3-4 or 4-3 nicely. Kelsey Griffin and Deon Green already in the program would be great DE in that scheme along with some Freshman we are bringing along. I like the fact that a consistent top 20 defense is looking for ways to stay ahead of the curve rather than playing catch up. In case you never noticed Ellis Johnson and Lorenzo Ward have slipped 3-4 schemes in before with Melvin Ingram, Clowney, Eric Norwood, and Devon Taylor standing up and dropping out. Darius English definitely has the athleticism to do something similar. You should mention it to Venables, Beasley would probably be outstanding moving around like that.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

We are recruiting smaller guys


Feb 21, 2014, 3:53 PM [ in reply to If they switch to a 3-4, Gurshall ]

To compete against the HUNH.

That's what drewtiger and tigerkinh79 told me yesterday.

If true, very big deal. Scar's LBs are average at best.


Feb 21, 2014, 9:39 AM

They were horrible last year.

Feb 21, 2014, 11:30 AM

Yeah, that's why one was a freshman All American. They were young and came in very strong, they will be one of the strengths of the defense next year.
Going to some 3-4 because they are so good, not because of lack of DL.

Question the secondary al you want, that will be a struggle for us. But the DL and Linebackers, they will be tough.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

You know, you need 2 big middle linebackers


Feb 21, 2014, 11:37 AM

Better start really working the HGH if you're going to find 2 on your roster over 230-240 pounds.

Re: You know, you need 2 big middle linebackers


Feb 21, 2014, 12:03 PM

If we go to a 3-4 they will be Turner, English, Walton, and Johnson. Holloman and Roberts would be bulked up if expected to play in a 3-4 as well. Could also stick Joe Blue in there if we needed him.

This is such big news for Clemson

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

This is unpossible


Feb 21, 2014, 11:35 AM

I had a long discussion with the brilliant gentlemen on FGF, and they explained that Clemson is terrible because we don't recruit D-Linemen, while they have at least 20-25 D-linemen on their team every year. So this guy is obviously mistaken.

Re: SCAR may switch to 3-4 in 2014 due to lack of numbers on DL


Feb 21, 2014, 11:54 AM

With the players they've been recruiting, they will need to give the 3-4 some time. It may end up working well for them, but it'll take a year or two adding weight on the linebackers, and recruiting bigger ones

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

We will still abandon the run***

Everyone gets a little pass happy. Wisconsin shouldn't have passed the ball 1 time in the first half. While SCAR's LBs are small they are speedy. But they should start sweating if they routinely let linemen an TEs block them at the second level.

or was it the loss of Ellis Johnson, or was the slide when Jeffery or Lattimore left...it all gets very confusing keeping up on the beginning dates each February of the coming slide.

SC is loaded at DT but challenged at DE for 2014, perhaps Ward is trying to get more DT's on the field because he does not have quality at DE spot.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

incorrect again


Feb 21, 2014, 5:45 PM

Our base will always be 4-2-5 with Ward. We had a 3-4 package last year but gotta get the best players in the game and we have some solid young linebackers.
