Chad Thomas at SDE

[Canes581]

He can still feast on QB's at SDE

He would have to two gap the tackle. Then recognize the play is a pass. Then go from working the entire man, to half a man. Then use a pass rush technique. Then he can get the sack. This chain is forced by the scheme. It negates athleticism because of the transition from two gapping to pass rushing. A long and strong guy is more effective here. He is behind Kamalu in length and strength. He is behind Chickillo in strength. Then comes the learning the playbook angle too. If its the same as the old one from UVA he will have to take time to learn it.

He will get the chance to rush the passer in the 3rd and long formation. He will get to be fast and strong then, but thats shown to be a limited situation with our defense.

Or I'm wrong.

Pretty much all of this!

Just because Chick two gaps majority of the time when hes in doesnt mean we cant change up what the dline is doing and let Chad play more single gap when he is playing. I dont know why people are freaking out when we really don't know how Chad is going to be used in our defense. Its a depth chart for god sake. No ones seen Chad play for us before so there is no way to actually know what the coaches are thinking. Why dont we stop jumping to conclusions and just wait until the season and Chad is actually on the field.

Unfortunately this staff hasn't shown a lot of creativity and flexibility on defense.

You say that, but our defense has looked different every single season since they got here, and why should this year be any different. As we get more talented players, the coaches will be able to do more things on defense. Chad is a unique player and I could definitely see the coaches doing some different things with him because of his unique skill set. I just dont understand why people are getting mad about it already when we really dont know what the coaches are planning.

Chad has barely been assigned his jersey # for God's sake and all the experts are projecting his role already.

We're still doing the same thing this past season as we did on day 1. There have been no changes.

We will waste his talent at sde eating up blocks. Let him feast on qbs for Christ sake.

Did you watch how we used AQM and Mccord?

 

[JHallCanes]

I've never heard of a kid who enters college at 255 graduate in the 260s. Chad is going to be 275+ whether he wants to or not. He seems to me to be a prototype SDE. Where else would we put him?

Chad is 250ish with little muscle on him. He's going to be a **** big dude whether he wants to or not.

 

[Cane Dynasty]

Chad gonna end up being our Bruce Smith.

That really isn't true. Now the defense has been bad for three years but we were clearly more 4-3 in the first year than we are now.

 

[TheSwagger1]

I'm thinking a slightly-bigger (2 decades later, everyone's bigger) Kenny Holmes-esque build (& hopefully career) for Chad.

 

[TheSwagger1]

While trying to look for pictures of Holmes, I came across one of his bookend, Kenard Lang. Did anyone look like more of a bad *** than Lang?

 

[Gatorhater]

Let the big dog hunt!!!!!

1. **** this coaching staff

Chad doesn't mind how the staff will use him, so why do []_[]? He could've went to any school but he decided to go with Al & company. Stop being a lil b¡tch

Post of the year for all the cats out there *****ing already. I think we will see a much more attacking defense this year.

 

[Bigtip]

hes out of position at that spot. that position isnt asked to pressure the QB.

just pray that F.A.G. is gone after this year and we get a coach who knows wtf hes doing

Chad is a 4-3 DE. not a 3-4 DE

This year's defense will be pretty **** good

As for your complaints about Thomas, he has the frame to play end in a multiple front.

in the first year was when there were the best Defensive numbers, and it's been downhill ever since.

I say it will be pretty much the same **** we've seen for 3 years - i.e. ******

these clowns will ruin Thomas' career putting him in this garbage 3-4 scheme at end.
