Welcome to the Hardcore Husky Forums. Folks who are well-known in Cyberland and not that dumb.

DE Q for TSIO crew or any of you fags, reall

Does the fact that the Dawgs don't have DEs hurt us? in the recruiting of guys whose frames suggest hand-on-the-ground DEs ala Jalen Phillips?

Could our? scheme potentially hurt us? with Sav'ell Smalls?

    Dude all the fucking kids love the ideas in playing in space rushing the passer shit. Much more versatile that a DE. Should be an easier sell

    This is the DDY stance, not sure we've seen the hypothesis tested enough to take it as gospel yet.

    It is better than telling them they need to take on a 300+ OL and maintain the fucking edge

    I think it's a good hypothesis, I just don't think we've seen enough to say it like it's a fact.

    if a kid really wants to play with his hand down he needs to play DT, most kid like shiny shit. DE is not really that sexy of fucking job. With the buck bull shit you can sell it easier. Then again, i am fucking doof, wtf do i know?

    Following on DDY's point ...

    It's in part why our ability to recruit high end TEs that are well rounded is so important for us. When we can go 2 TEs it creates so many issues. We have a solid 7 in the run game that forces teams to commit 8 to stop it and leaving our WRs operating 1 on 1. But what we haven't seen in this offense yet is that TE that really doubles as a strong pass catcher.

    That formation can allow us to pound a defense in the running game OR split everybody wide and force guys to cover in space that aren't particularly good at it.

    It's why it is so important to be multiple

    We do have DE's. They just play standing up and occasionally drop into coverage. Everybody's playing with stand-up DE's now. It's the new trend in the NFL and college football. USC runs the same defense except they play more base similar to our defense back in 2014. Their "Buck" is called "Predator" and it's the same position. Hasn't hurt them in recruiting. Oregon is running the same defense under Jim Leavitt and so will Cal under Wilcox. When UW recruits high school DE's to play Buck or Sam it's a compliment because it means they think they are athletic enough to drop and play in space.

    I know your being sarcastic but Nansen OJ plays played the Predator position for USC.
    Fixed that for you

    He's a different kind of predator. Nansen is a teen boy predator and likely an adolescent boy predator whereas Porter Gustin plays Predator in USC's defense.
