The End of the Striker position

[Miami[]_[]Smoke]

we're #1 in takeaways in the power 5 since it's debuted. Might be dumb but are we implying that the players don't like it and it didn't help change the culture of forcing turnovers? because if so, you're way off base

If the chain caused that improvement, why didn’t the td rings do the same For the offense last year? Correlation isn’t causation...

and we aren’t #1 in turnovers forced since then. We’re towards the top but this year, we were 61st and have gotten worse each year since 2017.

If they change the name from “striker” to “rover” you’ll be happy?

It’s not the same thing but yes I would.

The football illiterate are always the ones that complain about the scheme the most.

Not defending OP, but as a football illiterate, I tend to use scheme and playcalling interchangeably. For instance, I said UNC had figured out our scheme, I really meant they knew what play we were going to call on defense.

Manny‘s Defensive scheme is trash it’s only better than D’onfrios by default. With that being said How will our defense look without the Striker position?

We need a defense that’s multiple and not running out of the same stupid looking formation every snap >>> I’m looking at u Manny . I want to see 4 LBers when needed, 4 CBs when needed, Two safeties and a Rover when needed.

Thoughts?

Like Diaz invented the 4-2-5? A lot of teams are running it.

that is correct, but if the players like it who tf cares? obviously forcing turnovers is not a problem

 

[KrazyCane]

Striker has been the most consistent bright spot of Manny’s D.. imo

I think the weird alignments where you can see the whole that’s about to get gashed before the ball is snapped is bc of the striker position. The strikers themselves are playing well it’s just the position I don’t like.

The striker position is just a cute way of saying we’re in nickel base defense. Which majority trans stay in these days.

Defending every offense out of the nickel using a striker is what I don’t like.

One of the worst posters here easily

It’s not the 4-2-5 I have a problem with it’s the Striker... ppl forget Manny’s original version was to have McClouds big *** playing striker lining up against slot receivers.

Freudian slip Cribby?

We are going to need 4 LBs against Bama whether it works or not. The 3rd and 4th LBer can be Chase Smith and James Williams, use ur brains ppl we not talking about 4 McClouds on the field.

We’ll revamp it and call it “money” backer and it will be badass again. But they’ll do the exact same thing

bingo. UGA star, UF has one too. its just evolving to how spread out offenses have become now

I could argue that the striker position has been a top 2 performer on the defense the last few years.
Gilbert was really good last season and Romeo Finley was one of the more underrated canes defenders in the last decade.
