I feel we have a very special D-line situation this year, that if successful, could be implemented for years to come. Mt. MC is going to be full beast mode in a 4-3 set at 6-8/360. My take is we continue this setting after this year. My meaning by this is we continue to fill one of the DT spots with essentially a 3-4 NT. I feel with this philosophy our DT/NT will take up the G and RT spots at the same time to allow pressure up the middle by our SLB and by our SDE. Now by no means do I think we can continue to find find players Mt. MC size, but I do feel we can get players, JuCo or High School, that have the frame to carry weight at 325-345. If we can get this type of player every year I feel our defense can be really deadly. The NY Giants implement a system just like the one I'm speaking of. Their WDE have a lot of success getting sacks in this type of system. Another huge advantage of this is we can kick our SDE inside at DT and move the NT out on passing downs. This will allow us to add a pure pass rusher AKA the LEO position. Carr fits this bill to a T, as he can play SDE on running downs, and then kick inside on passing downs. In all, the central idea is to have a big WDE that weighs 280-290 for running downs along with a big NT thats weighs 325-345. On passing downs the NT goes out and the DT and WDE become the two new DTs along with a new LEO DE/LB hybrid who can line up on the line or standing up right over/under the LTs shoulder depending on the scheme.
For this year I see this:
1st and 2nd down plays:
SDE: Walls/Carr/Miller
NT: Mt.MC/Carson/Clark
DT: Couch/Miller/Hood/O'Brien/Saulsberry
WDE: Smith/Williams/Miller
3rd and pass plays:
WDE: Smith/Miller
DT: Couch/Hood
DT: Miller/Walls/Carr
LEO: Veeren/Lewis/Bynum
Lets go pure speculation here for 2014 assuming we continue to implement a NT type player in our front 4.
1st and 2nd down plays:
SDE: Carr/Miler
NT: Carson/Clark
DT: O'Brien/Saulsberry
WDE: Williams/Brown
3rd and pass plays:
WDE: Williams/Brown
DT: O'Brian/Carson
DT: Carr
LEO: Veeren/Lewis
Possible Freshman:
NT Mosley: 6-5/346
SDE Barnett: 6-3/265
WDE Hendrix: 6-5/255
DT Ford: 6-0/285
DT/NT Sawyers: 6-2/300
