[QUOTE="Techster, post: 390614, member: 360"] You may be entirely right. One of the things that stuck out to me was this line: [I]With the type of player we recruit at outside backer we've been fortunate to move some of them to safety when needed and some of our safeties to outside backer. Whether the flexibility for these position changes is a necessity or a luxury, it's an advantage either way. [/I] Out of curiosity from what you replied, I went back to watch film of App State vs UT in 2016: [MEDIA=youtube]id=5tyIOGeC6kk;t=980[/MEDIA] Looking at the body types, it appears the OLBs were the smaller safety/LB types that were explosive and quick with the ability to cover and chase depending on the situation. The MLBs were bigger bodies, plugging holes and making the line account for them to free up the OLBs to attack. Now this of course comes with the caveat that against UT they had to defend a LOT of 4 and 5 WR sets. I kinda got more curious, so I watched a little of their game against Miami. Miami had more "standard" offensive personnel compared to UT. Lots of 2 back sets, TE packages, as well as 4/5 WR sets. [MEDIA=youtube]8OV3HET9SAk[/MEDIA] Pretty interesting what CNW did with personnel. One thing I noticed: LOTS of his guys get into the backfield. Makes you wonder what he can do with SAs that are more evenly matched...and he'll get that chance here at GT. [/QUOTE]
