USCe used the term "Spur" for their extra safety in the 4-2-5. Ellis Johnson wants to call that position "Talon" at Auburn.

Tar Heel Tiger is urging Jay G. Tate to have Johnson call it "The Prowler."

Talon sounds fine to me. But I prefer "Rosegreen". The helmet to helmet rule had to have been written because of hits like this.

The Prowler would make the calls in Johnson's 4-2-5 instead of a MLB.
EJ's is different from TCU's 4-2-5 which splits the formation and each safety calls signals on their side.

Your namesake could be the brains of the operation Prowler.

Make it so!

EJ's 4-2-5 can become a 3-3-5, a 3-4, or a 4-3. He likes to mix it up to confuse the offense

Sounds like The Prowler knows a lot about Johnson's defense.

 I'd rather have a guy who strikes fear by BEING the baddest Motherfucker on the field, not by whooping and dancing and TELLING everyone he's the baddest motherfucker on the field.  Those guys usually wind up getting their shit pushed in when some other badass motherfucker decides to shut him up.  In other words, Brian Bozworth.  We all know how well that worked out for him once he met Bo.

The Prowler position will be someone that Hollers and knocks the shit out of people...I'VE SPOKEN. Btw, I'd ABSOLUTELY LOVE to have a Boz at LBer.

Speaking of which...the guy in my avatar, finished 6th and 7th behind Staubach and Huarte in '63 and '64 as a true two way player (C/LB). If he couldn't be the Heisman winner at least as a LB then it's not for defenders, no offense to Woodson.

That's what we should call the position.  The Creed Monster.  Instead of a captain's patch he could wear a pic of this guy

How many ever people have their hand on the ground, functionally, this is essentially a 3-3/5-3 style of defense.  It's a blitzing, slanting, stunting, style, and he'll bring 5 most snaps.  They will take risks.  They will give up big plays at times, and make big plays at times.  It's the style of defense Gus thinks marries up well with his HUNH.  EJ won't be begging Gus to slow down the Off. to help his defense.  They're both fast paced.

That's what I've been saying for a while...if you have a HUNH Offense it allows you to take risks on Defense. If the opponent hits a big play or two and scores quickly, oh well, that just means your Offense will get the ball back quicker. If you play ”prevent zone” and the Defense is on the field for 12-14 snaps, then your Offense goes 3&out or scores quickly, your defense will be worn out by the end of the Qtr.

4+2+5=(4+2=6)(6+5=11)  You play with..let's see...11 on each side.  So, 4+2+5=11.
