Depth Chart for football

^^^^^^^. Boom

Id hope to see big James Hamilton and Deadrin Sennat pushing for a spot at DT this year.

We run the 3-4 now there are no DTs... A nose tackle.. aka NG... but no DT.  We'll probably not see the 4-3 again while Taggart is our coach.  He doesn't normally run it.  He ran it last season because of personnel, but it's not what he does.  

 

 

Semantics. A NT is technically a DT.

 

 

Not even technically.  A NT IS a defensive tackle. 

 

You hide as many things behind semantics as you desire.  If he/she meant NT, he would have said it.  The implication from DT means are speaking of the 4-3 defense.  Nobody ever refers to the NT in a 3-4 defense as DT... They call him a nose guard... NT.. etc.  I mean people play dress-up when they get corrected like it's something wrong with someone pointing out they are not totally right.  To many thin skins.

I'm pretty sure that I'm right with the starters.  I could be off on the depth chart a bit with the incoming freshman.  But the ones that were here for spring ball... I'm confident I go those accounted for correctly. 

 

I'm not sure what cool aide people have been drinking of Bench but he's not going to start.  He had a good spring game but he was a pick 6 machine for most of the spring and was outplayed.  He'll push White, but White is going to start.

Good info monte

Bresnahan has run the 3-4 every place he's been at.  Last season was the first he didn't.  Also if you look at his earlier interviews when he first got in,  on Scout, 247, and rivals... the ones from last spring... when asked would in run the 3-4 he said personnel will dictate that.  He said with four stud ends you want to maximize their ability.  But he said we would be running it in the future.  Our defensive recruiting has been for the 3-4... has nobody not noticed?  

 

 

He ran the 4-3 in Cincinnati (at least part of the time) and in Oakland (at least part of the time).  I haven't followed his career enough to know, but it seems from what I can find online that he has shown a lot of variation, which is consistent with the philosophy I mentioned (as did you):  the personnel will dictate the scheme. 

 

Re: recruiting, I think they are desperately recruiting any d-linemen they can get after whiffing on several over the past couple years.  We are lean and have been for some time, even for a 3-4.  I do not think that is by choice.

Wikipedia: "A defensive tackle who lines up directly across from the ball (and therefore is almost nose-to-nose with the offense's center) is often called a nose tackle or nose guard. The nose tackle is most common in the 3-4 defense. Most defensive sets have one or two defensive tackles."

 

SBNation: "There are varying roles for defensive tackles -- whether you're a nickel pass rusher, a nose tackle or a base down run-stuffer -- and gap (one-gap or two-gap) assignments and general roles vary in the 4-3 and the 3-4."

 

Football 101:  "Nose Tackle: A defensive tackle who lines up directly across from the center"

 

You're not wrong but neither was Bullphin or GA...
