Cluck- I seemed to recall that Saunders-250lb- lined up at left DE when Manny utilized the 4 man front?
Moving Ty Davis to the Bandit was mentioned in the last NJ article. He's in the process of putting on some more size.Ramblinrec74 wrote: ↑Sat Mar 23, 2024 1:04 pm There is no doubt that UD is going to run into alot of no huddle offenses. If we had a 6'3", 235 LB who had good speed, but could put his hand in the dirt, similar to Colby Reeder used to do, we wouldn't have to worry about matching personel with the no Huddle, especially when it's a run down and we are attempting to exchange personnel accordingly.
From what I understand students are on spring break this week but spring practice is typically three days per week. Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday.
Still think you know more about it than Rojas & Carty..Cluck U wrote: ↑Fri Mar 22, 2024 9:10 pmAppreciate your thought. Good idea.Ramblinrec74 wrote: ↑Fri Mar 22, 2024 1:28 pm It would be nice if Manny Rojas could develop a MLB type, that could jump down and play DE, and pop up to MLB position. Would give him alot flexibility and create problems for opponents OL.
Unfortunately, Rojas likes to put lighter LBs as the DE.
Strange…almost as though he has an idea of how defenses should work, but doesn’t recognize that he doesn’t have the horses to run it. But, subconsciously, realizing that it won’t work, he plays a passive D that he hopes will “contain” other offenses.
If you can’t match up mano a mano, you have to do something different: attack, take risks…something. Rojas seems to be stuck in IN-BETWEEN-WORLD, where he plays a defense he knows won’t work against better teams, but is resigned to getting beat.
Well, Rojas has finally come to see what I have been saying...he has admitted he needs to adapt his defense and get bigger players and play more 4 down linemen. Love it when I am proven correct...and a big assist to you for continuing to shine the light on my ability to identify a weakness in a man's stubborn personality and flawed reasoning.Section J wrote: ↑Thu Mar 28, 2024 2:02 pmStill think you know more about it than Rojas & Carty..Cluck U wrote: ↑Fri Mar 22, 2024 9:10 pmAppreciate your thought.

, you are clearly speaking of thyself. Called projection.
It’s clear that RC and Co. think they’re playing some kind of basketball game on a gridiron. Reality hits them in the face when a strong team is on the other side of the field. Kind of a funny comment - “We’re still able to stop the run. ….. some of the things that we’re looking to do this spring are get better in our run defense and being able to do different things to deploy that.”. Ok, both can be true but it does seem a big incongruent and the results show they do need to get better at defending the run (and getting a pass rush).Section J wrote: ↑Tue Apr 02, 2024 8:20 pm Rojas said:

“The 3-3-5 structure gives us the ability to really defend the pass and that’s what this game has turned into, a pass happy game. We’re still able to stop the run. I think some of the things that we’re looking to do this spring are get better in our run defense and being able to do different things to deploy that.”
You have misrepresented his position and yours.
