Depth Chart vs ECU

[Glory to the Green]

Doesn’t appear so, but any chance we run the 4-2-5?  Craven sounded very confident on the ROF podcast today.

I think what Odom was running at USC was a 3-3-5 that had a “RUSH” position serving as a hybrid DE/LB lined up on the line of scrimmage, so really only 2 second level linebackers, making it similar to a 4-2-5 in effect. Different from Caponi’s 3-3-5 stack. Maybe someone like Chavez Brown could play that type of role but not exactly a lot of time to implement that level of scheme change.

Thanks.  I’m curious to see if we see any changes.  Morris said today was a good on good day…I’m assuming starters vs starters.  Perhaps to implement a new wrinkle on defense?  Guess we’ll find out soon enough.

Would seem to me that a 3-4 more likely given the personnel we have and the fact that we have run it already some this season. Not familiar with ECU’s offense, which I assume (hope?) will dictate what we look like on defense.

12 starters on both offense and defense.  That's some 3-D chess right there

I agree it would be a quick turnaround, but I bet he'll at least have some packages ready to go this week, if not a full "base" defense ready.   

If he wants to treat this like a job interview (which he should), he'll need to implement successful changes immediately.   He'll have at least two (better be three!!) games to show what he can do.
