[QUOTE="cuttysark, post: 447301, member: 1578"] GT needs two things on defense this year as the 3/4 affords a team greater flexibility to showcase a defensive stalwart. Much like when the NY Giants under Al Groh as the DC utilized Lawrence Taylor from all over the field to force offenses to not only game plan for him, but check off at the LOS to avoid him at all costs. Does GT have an athletic non-stop motor LB or safety type that can become a dominate player? We don't know yet as the Ted Roof bend and keep everything in front of you defensive schemes greatly hobbled the potential game disrupting athleticism of many of the current players. I'm willing to accept the consequences that come with an aggressive defensive scheme more than getting gouged at the LOS play after play under Roof, which was death by a thousand cuts accelerated with score after score right before halftime. Plus he rarely substituted and that creates countless problems not only on the field with fatigue, but also inside the LOCKER ROOM!! Groh's schemes were too complicated for college players, and Roof was too passive and vanilla. The big unknown at this point is greatly lessened in my mind as Woody has a formula that translates into proven success year after year, and I will trust a football coach who plays aggressive defense 100% of the time as that forces the offense to guess where pressure will hit, as well as where and when. With this offense we only need a few more three and outs each game to shift the balance which is already in favor of GT with this sledgehammer offense that chews up time and limits the other teams possessions even before the game starts. So now if Woody can add more pressure to that already facing our opponents who know they will have less possessions heading into a game, IMO this is the missing ingredient that has finally been brought to the table for the first time under CPJ. Someone who can play good defense at another school with less talent, ought to be able to translate that into similar success at GT. I'm excited at the prospect! What I also am excited to see is that Woody plays lots of kids and that creates a certain type of team camaraderie and chemistry that can become infectious throughout the entire team including the offense and special teams. Keep an eye on the safety who transferred from Wofford as a graduate student as he has played under this system his whole career for Shiel Wood, and will be a great addition to the secondary as a ready made stater and leader on the defense this season.
