What defense will we run this season?

Another problem created by Boomers. It's time for your generation to move to the side so the rest of us can clean up your messes.

The Boomers still have huge assets and huge influence. No reasons to let your generation run the US in the ditch.

If you want your kid attacked or former players attacked, you have come to the right place!

That's......a bunch of formations? You mean, a defensive scheme..?
You want to know if they are going to run quarters, 2 high, 3, run a safety blitz, stunt, bullet blitz with a fire coverage from the buck?

Do you believe that Sanders and the staff know what specific plays they are running in the first quarter of game 1? Because if that were the case the whole staff would need to just be fired right now.

Im going to go ahead and check out of this convo and go back to being a lurker on the board. Besides being a ridiculous ask, these threads shed a bad light on a great fanbase.

You said you knew what defenses were going to be run. So I asked you to be more specific. My point is that there are a lot of schemes, formations and defenses. I don’t think you or anyone, even the players, know what will be called. I can tell you know some about what you are talking about, but you sometimes overstate, in my view. Small point.

Need to get the visionary minds on record about what defense we will run this coming season. I cant wait to laugh at you boomers that are old and worthless.

Its gonna be funny to a lot of us in the know.

So speaking of visionary minds. Let's hear what you have to say. Not sure I've ever heard you give us your words of wisdom about the vast football knowledge of your days in junior high football and I'm sure everyone is really curious to hear.
But here is my guess as to what you'll see. I think Sanders generally ran a 4-2-5 front at EWU but like most teams depending on down and distance and the rotation he has on the roster you'll see plenty 4-3, 5-2 and 3-3. Since the griz are deep with edge players and hybrid safety types it'll be a steady dose of 4-2-5 with a nickel in the box and a lb playing edge on the weak side. Very similar fronts to what they've played the last few years since that is what the roster has. The difference is going to be a gap responsible scheme. Less slants and twists. Predicable gap fits, safeties will be playing high and fitting run allies instead of just pursuit. less thinking and easier to learn which will make the defense faster.

I don't know why I am doing this to myself besides sometimes an argument feels good.

You fundamentally do not understand what a defense is. I am trying to be kind, but your comments leave no other room for interpretation. Nobody, not a soul, said they know what is going to be called. You are literally talking about SPECIFIC DEFENSIVE PLAYS which is just a dumb thing to say. The DEFENSE is a base 4-2-5 formation. If you were playing a video game and you could pick Montana, when it was time to select a PLAY, the PLAY which includes everyone's responsibility for that rep would be within the 4-2-5 defensive scheme.

They could come out first play week 1 and run a 1-7-3 and that wouldn't change the fact the damn defense is a 4-2-5. Kids learn this as early as K-8 football, man. "Overstate" because you don't "understand".

Have a very blessed day.

Not the same reward here as when you argue with the wife.

Yes, I understand D. I was an all-conference player on D on a D1 college team that ended up ranked 14th in the nation, a bit ahead of Penn St. I follow D closely at my college and UM and have known the coaches, including the D coaches, at both schools for decades. I have talked in recent times to all of the UM D coaches, individually. My wife and I have about 18 current and former coaches in our families. Some still coach.

I don't want to know the schemes. I already have read about that and been told the schemes, including by some of the UM coaches. Some of you keep saying you know what the D is going to be. I keep asking for more info. I want to know what D's the coaches are going to concentrate on.

I am not talking about specific defensive plays. I want to know how the D will be called and played in various situations. I know from my current player friends, who are mostly D guys, that they don't know that. And I know that a parent of a kid who has been recruited or is/will play, doesn't know that either.

Like I said, you are "fundamentally" overstating what you know. You overstate because you don't understand. I know D and perhaps more about how to play D than you do. Did you play college football? On D? At what level? Were you or are you a coach? You sure as heck don't coach at UM.

I don't want to get into with anyone, let alone a player parent, but I wonder if you have the temperament to post on egriz. I know a few player-parents who do on occasion. Some with kids who play on the D. But they don't post much.

Maybe you play video games, but I don't. I go to games and practices. I support UM and my school. I talk to coaches. I list to press conferences. I invite coaches to my lake place and have for decades. I know Bobby and Pflu quite well and still communicate with them. I know Delaney too. I don't yet know the Griz D coaches like I knew the prior ones.
