Rumor: Huff to Striker?

[Gables Cane]

How does CIS feel about this unconfirmed move? Striker isn't a position of weakness so there is no immediate need for Huff. LB is a position of weakness and many of us were hoping Huff would be part of the solution.

This sounds more like it's about Huff not getting it done at LB (if true).

Agreed

Lol are y’all sure Huff is as good as y’all said he was? He’s getting moved from our weakest position possibly on the team with no proven impact players to arguably the strongest and most proven position

 

[Go Canes!!]

15-0

It's comical at this point what we do at LB, CB and S. So many wasted years.

 

[Ethnicsands]

A lot of folks said it was too early to judge huff at LB, amd maybe do. But the staff may have concluded it’s not too early to see where else he can play.

 

[SPAMM]

We have basically all new coaches on the backend. Let them tinker a bit. Six months until the first game.

I wouldn't say safety has been "comical" at this point but I agree with you on LBs and corners.

Our new LB coach said it himself.... Striker is just an athletic OLB/S..... Does Huff not fit that? Man let the coaches do what they do. And btw, did it cross y'all minds that Huff might've asked to be switched himself? Smh

 

[SPFRcane]

Well do we know who is coming back to the striker position...it appears there is some shuffling being done to sure up the CB's. We don't know what the striker position will look like come spring/fall!! This is the time to play around with positions. How do you know what the brand new secondary coaches are thinking?

If he’s not getting it done at LB then bench him and let’s somebody babe an opportunity for snaps at LB

 

[ScharfCane]

I think that will hurt the chance of him getting immediate playing time...at linebacker, he has the potential to start or be the first one off the bench. At striker where they only play 1 at a time, he would be behind Frierson and Keontra.

Like I said about Harrell going to CB...the Spring is where all the labrat experiments happen. Try anything. See what happens. I like the potential “position-less” approach they are taking. Reminds me of the Big 3 Heat era where Coach Spo adopted it. If the goal is the find your best 22 players on Defense regardless of position, then I like the strategy.

 

[Empirical Cane]

Isn't the striker position a LB-S hybrid?

Wouldn't an athlete here be even more athletic (speed-wise) than someone who can only play LB?

Huff to Striker could be a good thing right?

 

[CFLCane]

I wouldn't say safety has been "comical" at this point but I agree with you on LBs and corners.

The amount of players we recruit to safety and striker and shuffle is more my point for that group.

He didn’t even see the field last year with a mess in front of him. If you feel he’s a striker let him develop, Frierson and maybe smith won’t be here much longer.

[TexasCane90]

I mean he’s not a true Mike LB in my eyes...

he’s an athletic OLB..... how is this shocking that they like him for the striker role?

With all new coaches on the D side, we may see a lot more of this. Moving guys around to see what they’re good at and where they best fit.
