Common theme from all the defensive guys: "ATTACK!!!"

Man, love hearing that.

I thought the exact same thing. Some of the best interviews (most encouraging) I've seen in a loooong time. Also good to hear D. Curry's name thrown in there.

Really excited for this defense!

Curry - in 15.made a really good tackle behind line where he shot the gap. Came to sideline and got lots of high 5 s .
AFTER that game i guess he learned to stay in position and be sure that the play is contained . Plus he got hurt.

We could be very surprised by which lb or safety really fits in Woody s system.
Don't count out the backups! Read and go beats slow and strong in this defense.
Like whisky said i would like to have seen TD roof give this a go.

Now Branch and Coach Johnson have both mentioned Chris Martin as a guy who has caught their eye.

Well, it does look like we're installing a rush (Jack) and cover (Stinger) OLBs rather than just Left and Right. It's interesting that Christian spoke of Stinger as third safety position, like a nickel.

lots of teams have that as a ROVER position,a hybrid LB/S--a 210 lb guy that can move really well and tackle -see FR Charlie Thomas

Where is a coach Woody interview?!?!?

I don't think that the assistant coaches are allowed to be interviewed this year. New CPJ policy, I believe.

Exactly.

From earlier in this thread talking about his weight:

One of the starting OLB's at App St and the #8 tackler was 208 and a FR OLB who played every game was 195.

I suspect that they have one OLB who is more of a rush back and the other is more of a nickel.

I could be wrong, but I think I remember reading him saying that it depends on personnell, but he'd prefer to just have a ROLB and a LOLB, but if he can't get guys well rounded enough, he could play with a SOLB and a WOLB.

I wasn't assuming anything. I was just providing data.

 

[ilovetheoption]

Exactly.

From earlier in this thread talking about his weight:

Funnily enough, I was thinking about this just yesterday and I went back and checked, and he was actually talking about corners. He was talking about how he could play a boundary corner and a field corner but if he had good enough players he would rather just have left and right.

My memory is getting faulty in my old age

That sucks

 

[jwsavhGT]

I'm actually enjoying the interviews from the players. We're getting to hear from different guys and they each bring their own perspective to the conversation.

 

[buzzed]

That sucks

This policy has been in place since at least last year. CPJ said he was tired of certain media members asking every coach the same question until they got a quote that fit what they wanted to write, or something to that effect.

@flea77 I think you're going to have to stock up on steaks!

Thank you for the videos!

CPJ is allowing Nate woody to speak once to the media on April 18th.

Coach Woody talking to the press would be counterproductive imo. The press wants to know who is standing out and that’s the last thing a coach wants his players reading in the press when installing a new scheme. He needs maximum effort and focus and that only comes when guys feel every rep is make or break.
