Demetrius Knight position change

Seems pointless. Dont like it

 

[Jacketman99]

Not sure about this move. I guess they will figure it out in the spring.

 

[THWG]

Maybe we'll use him as a wildcat at the goaline. This just doesn't make a ton of sense to me, but I'm also not at practice to see everything.

 

[Oldgoldandwhite]

Depth? Spring experiment?

 

[Gt2019]

I guess he just wasn’t comfortable at line backer.
We should try and maybe use him as a taysom hill type

 

[gt02]

Bringing back the 3O?

 

[Jacketman99]

I would bet it was at Knights request. They will probably give him a shot in the spring and see how it goes. May not be permanent.

Sooo are we going back to the spread option????? Seems he would have been a really good CPJ QB.....this is just strange. Wonder if Tobias is moving back to QB?

We need another backup QB, but not sure why a walk-on wouldn't do better in this offense than Knight. I'm guessing if it got to that, they'd rather wildcat/option it and Oliver was contributing more at DB? I dunno, confused.

My guess is it has more to do with his LB development vs his QB potential. You need guys to scrimmage as well.

I see this as Collins may want more competition in the QB room outside of Yates and Peery. Knight is a freak athlete. I was disappointed he wasn't able to beat out Curry this past year.

This may also mean Curry may come back! :/

Knight is long, strong, and fast. I wouldn't be surprised if he is in the portal by late summer.

Knight may be our change up QB keeper guy. I would have liked to see us run 5 or 6 Graham QB keepers a game this year.

Curry has already said he isn't coming back. It could mean that @Techster may have his wish come true and Carpenter is moving to LB, so the coaches want to see what Knight can do at QB.

Bringing back the 3O?

I'd like that on 4th downs and inside the 10 20.

 

[kg01]

Considering how badly we need lb's, this is honestly shocking to me.

 

[Madison Grant]

Hopefully, this bodes well for the development of Meiguez, Franks and Khaya Wright.

My wish too !!

Tears of joy...

Doesn't mean Knight will stay at QB. Given he'll probably be behind Sims and Yates right off the bat for reps, and will have to compete with Peery for 3rd string reps, he may end up moving back to LB after the spring and he realizes he might not have the skillset to play QB in this system.
