Thanks for the update and enthusiasm, D. Very helpful.
As to changes to our defensive scheme, last year we added the Striker LB to improve our 3rd down defense. As you reported, Romeo Finley stunned us all with his excellent performance.
Not mentioned in today’s podcast is another new possible defensive position, the Viper. Recent commit R Height referred to this hybrid DE position where the Viper can either rush the passer or drop back into pass coverage. At 6’5”, 215, he saw the Viper as his best natural position.
I haven’t heard Coaches Diaz, Baker or Patke describe plans for a new Viper position. But, recruits are definitely mentioning it. Can you gather any intel on this possible wrinkle to our scheme?
Thanks.
