Just tossing a football related thread into the mix. I don't know about anyone else but the 2015 defense needs to take a BIG step forward from last year. I thought we could kick around various personnel groups that might maximize this roster's potential. Please don't hijack this thread and turn it into a Kelly bash - Just make your own thread.
So here's mine:
4-2-5 (Seems to work great when the DC knows how to take advantage of it's complexity/multiplicity - Our's didn't in 2014. . .)
DE: Walker
DL: NLS
DL: Nnadi
DE/Jack: Pugh (Casher needs to prove himself)
LB: T Smith
LB: Lyons/Hoskins/Phillips? (This is the biggest question mark on the depth chart IMO) - We need Northrup or Thomas to come back ASAP
CB: Ramsey
Star: Marshall
FS: Derwin
SS: Nate
CB: White? Freshman?
4-3 (My personnel favorite)
DE: Casher / Leonard
DL: NLS
DL: Nnadi
DE:: Walker
LB: Pugh
LB: Lyons/Hoskins/Phillips? (Thomas/Northrup needed!)
LB: T Smith
Here's where it gets interesting. . .
CB: Ramsey
FS: Marshall / Derwin
SS: Nate
CB: White (Can Marshall or Derwin play CB?)
3-4 (Least likely due to LB #'s)
DL: Nnadi
DL: NLS
DE:: Walker
LB: Pugh
LB: Lyons/Hoskins/Phillips? (Thomas/Northrup needed!)
LB: T Smith
LB/Jack: Featherston/Josh Sweat
CB: Ramsey
FS: Marshall / Derwin
SS: Nate
CB: White?
