I can see the junk yard Dawgs all over again!!!!!!!! I hope the kids get as charged up as the fans are becoming. Now for that offense!

All we need to do now is rename the student seats \"The Tracks\" and all the pieces fall into place.

I love the 3-4. The spread offenses (UF) will have more trouble against us than they normally would As a former player, the only concern is sometimes the 3-4 is relatively weak against the power team's up the middle running. But TG already said he will field a defense that is fluid and will change with the competition.

The great thing about the 3-4 is the fact that at the snap of the ball, it is an optical illusion: it basically is a 5-2 and therefore the QB \"feels\" there will be 5 guys coming. By defintion, whether a 4-3 or a 3-4, usually 4 guys rush. In the 4-3, you know who will be the rushers. In the 3-4, who will be the 4th rusher??? Will it be WOLB, SOLB, or one of the two ILB's???

Confusion!!! Love it.

Warning: by scheme alone, rest assured we will finish in the top 3 in sacks and INT's in the SEC. However, by nature of the main point of the 3-4 (get men to the QB), we WILL give up a big play here and there. Don't get discouraged.

PS: Proud of the Dooley's and their son getting the UT gig. (Hope will kill them though:))

PPS: Only been on the site here a couple days. Love it. I went to a UT site a while back just to get under their skin when they were talking trash about Richt. Got banned within 10 minutes!!!!!!! This site is much better.

Go dawgs

Welcome, we all look forward to your imput. You'll love this group!!

Something else that will benefit our D next year is the fact that everyone will be seeing it for the first time. New scheme, new coach, new attitude (I hope). There will be no film for them to watch on the D itself our the coaching tendencies on play calling in situations. The more I think about it the more I am glad we got Grantham. Can't wait to see his ideas and attitude on the field.

Just watching the pre-game for the Colts game tonight and they were previewing tomorrow's games when Howie Long commented that Dallas has the best 3-4 D in football. Sounded great.

wlayton, heard the same as you from Howie. I gotta say, that was music to this Dawgs ears!! It's going to be a long spring/summer waiting for next season!!
