Striker

[sstcane]

Who do you think ends up with the most snaps at Striker this season?

I think it’s an important position vs spread offences - during 1st and 2nd down. The player needs to be able to cover, make plays in space and attack the line of scrimmage vs run and in blitz situations.

Gilbert Frierson got approx 15 snaps per game last year so he has some experience at the position. He was up and down, looked like he was thinking a lot, but made some plays.

Amari Carter is better suited near the line of scrimmage. He’s a thumper, but is a little stiff. He also plays LB is dime packages.

Keontra Smith I feel may have the best skill set for the position. I’m really excited to see him play this year. I hope that he makes an impact.

Man to Man speed was Gilbert's problem. Keontra maybe better suited, but I haven't seen him enough to know.

If huff lives up to the hype
He could be a candidate for most snaps

amari carter? or jermain grace?

 

[Empirical Cane]

the position or combat vehicle?

Why do we have a position that no other CFB team has?

 

[Gocanes78]

I'm starting to believe Frierson would have been better off playing WR.

You do realize almost every fbs team has that position.

I wana see him play FS

I think the combination of Frierson & K Smith will be a good Striker combo.

Gil can play the run, Keontra can be in on more 3rd down packages against the pass & just have them split reps 50/50 until one emerges as the clear cut best fit in their spot.

You don't watch much college football do you?

Based on?

Keontras game was built for striker. He may not start out with the 1s but he'll grab it by seasons end.

 

[Canes Stan]

What position would maximize Gil’s potential? I’ve heard in interviews that he has high IQ and I’m curious where he fits best.

Don’t give up on Gil just yet he played well there just needs more snaps I’m confident he will preform. Smith is very intriguing. Also love putting Amari at Lb on 3rd

Are u basing this on the UF game when the free safety blew his assignment that left Gil looking like he got beat?

I think we should use actual tweeners at the position instead of treating it as a third safety. That would be great...

Oh wrong conversation. Sorry...

Other teams have the same position they just do not call it by the same name striker.

Have you never heard of playing "nickel" defense or a 4-2-5 alignment where the extra DB plays role of either LB or DB depending on play call? Striker is just the fancy term for that role. I have also heard the term "Viper".
