Ellis Johnson Wants a New Name for His "Spur" Position

[HSVBeerNerd]

Sooooooooooooooooooooooo... this new safety, does he have skreeetz???

[DnATL]

Sooooooooooooooooooooooo... this new safety, does he have skreeetz???

instead of playing a zone or filling lanes, the defensive players will now be assigned their respective skreetz

[Godfather]

Not truly fucked but magnificently patient. I'm in.

So you are saying that it will be Jake Holland

[WiregrassTiger]

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."

I don't know. This sounds too much like a transexual cabaret performer name to me.

If by ”truly fucked” you mean, fuckin badass mutha fucker running around like Bobby Bouche knocking the shit out of anything that crosses his face, putting the fear of God in every offensive player, all while yelling at the top of his lunges ”WoooooooooHoooooooo!!!!!! Creed Monster, BITCHES!!!!!!! Here comes the PAIN TRAIN, WOOOOOWOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!” on every play....then yes, ”truly fucked.”

 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 Boz was a badass in college. #fact

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.

If by ”truly fudgeed” you mean, fudgein badass mutha fudgeer running around like Bobby Bouche knocking the shoot out of anything that crosses his face, putting the fear of God in every offensive player, all while yelling at the top of his lunges ”WoooooooooHoooooooo!!!!!! Creed Monster, BITCHES!!!!!!! Here comes the PAIN TRAIN, WOOOOOWOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!” on every play....then yes, ”truly fudgeed.”

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



with his foot up Petrino's ass.

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

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.

Yep.  Gus is making it his to live and or die by his formula.  Pulling for him.

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

Okay, I can see where this might work.  But, why does it have to be so damn complicated?

...and sexy!

Please slow it down, so I can catch up.

Its better than using an "if" "then" statement. At least there is no "exception" to the rule.

My, what a lovely tea party.
