I thought DD played NG in college.

Oh, and don’t ever trot out All Conference lists when trying to make a point.

D.D. Lewis was an all-confrence player (twice if IRRC). Must not have been too bad for a running back playing out of position.

“and having only one LB capable of calling his signals so talent was optional at the Mike LB.”

Is this why DeAndre Lewis started at MLB for him?

He has excelled at OLB in the NFL, making me think he wasn’t put at this optimal position in college. If he was the one who called signals for Reese, that makes sense.

There were a ton of Texas high school coaches rolling their eyes when Chizik proclaimed he would be dictating what the offenses could do versus his three LB schemes regardless of the situation. Big 12 OC’s called B.S. and attacked Chizik’s 4-3 so well that Chizik resorted to gambling his secondary against the run to save face for his “dictating” schemes/personnel. Chizik might have listened to some of the best Tampa 2 defensive coaches around but he failed to recognize he didn’t have their experience to provide proper adjustments nor their knowledge to fix what was broken within the base scheme. One trick pony that was even less impressive with his position coaching ability.

Come on Scip—Bull could find ways to outnumber every formation known to man until the spread came up with solid protection schemes that the “chuck and duck” never solved. Bull came off the bus bringing seven–was prepared seven ways from sundown to bring eight if seven wasn’t enough and in a pinch could squirm his coverage two deep and bring nine with doubleheaders off the edge. Bull is still best known for finding terrific info on little known fishing resorts in the pressbox literature rags and having only one LB capable of calling his signals so talent was optional at the Mike LB.

Adjustments, teach fundamentals, stress intelligent reactions while bringing a nasty attitude—how can Muschamp make our defense better you ask.

The best way to beat the spread is to march your slow, lanky white MLB up to the line of scrimmage. That strategy also works magic against the I-formation, the I-formation option, the pro set, the run ‘n shoot, the single wing, the double wing, the wing-T, the wishbone, the flexbone, the T-bone, the shotgun, etc., etc.

I have 3 words for the first one: TaylorTRoom. Or maybe that is 1 word.

Good stuff. What about Nebraska? Can Pelini (or anybody) return them to consistent Top 10 status or has the landscape shifted so much that their natural recruiting disadvantages are too strong to overcome? They seem like a good candidate for your contrarian O scheme ideas.
