Martez Wilson

[IrishRamMan10]

Actually a poster on ESPN says he knows for a fact that Martez Wilson is going to Notre Dame.

if ur talkin about the NotreDameIsKewl guy...... I dont trust ANYTHING that guys says... i think he is full of BS but i sure do hope he is right.

I understood Gary Grey decommited on his volition...without ND interference. I'm not trying to change the rules and it would be the height of arrogance for me to think that I could. I was simply expressing my frustration and opinion of Trattou decommiting. Sorry, I didn't mean to upset anybody.

Don't apologize...Gray did decommit on his own volition & that's one of the things these boards are for...venting. Keep saying whatever the hell you feel brother! If someone doesn't like it...F'em & feed 'em fish heads!

This is sad we get 1 DEFENSIVE LINEMAN in Williams. Personally I'm not a big fan of the 3-4 defense and the thing is we'll have to make DT's into DE's get them quicker. Which is not gonna happen. I wish we kept the 4-3 and get a better DC that doesn't run a 3-4 Brown is decent but the thing is he runs a 3-4 and that really hurts. Now our linemen will have to be

DT 6-6 350

DE 6-6 330

those are tackle sizes and we can't land defensive tackles to say our soles. I guess we'll look for DT's and convert them into DE's which will throw them off.

We don't necessarily need guys of that size in order to run a 3-4 style defense, if that is what will be run. ND will probably run a defense similar to USC with the OLB coming up to make the plays and DE dropping back into coverage confusing the opposing offense. Just because it is called a base 3-4 doesn't mean it will be exactly like original 3-4 defenses, there will be room for creativity. I think we should give CB a game or two before we start criticizing Weis for his move. Minter had to go and Weis felt CB was the man for the job, give him a shot.

Besides, there are still some of us, (including me) who don't quite believe we are truly going to a 3-4 defense. I've only heard rumors about it, and since it doesn't make sense at all to me why we would really want to make this sort of change, I'm pulling a Vince Young and not really trusting it until i hear it from the source (i.e. coaches).

Corwin Brown said we will run a 3-4 and a 4-3 depending on personnel and game plan. Not much more needs to be said. We need DEs and DTs and LBs not much is different except the schemes inside these defenses will be different. Its not how you line up its how you execute different twists out of these base defenses.

First, let me say I don't know squat about recruiting but it seems to me that there is something unethical, even though it's not illegal, to go after recruits already verbally commited to another school. Florida has now brought in to their 2007 class 8, repeat 8, commitments from other schools. I find nothing wrong with a commit who, on his own volition, decides to decommit for another school as long as the other school's coaching staff stays out of his decision. Florida has gone after commits with a vengeance and apparently been very successful. I also think it's time to do away with verbals and have the written commit much earlier than the February signing date. After all, a lot of effort goes into recruiting for position and once the recruit signs, he should be honor bound to fulfill that commitment or if not, lose a year of eligibilty for reneging. That would stop a lot of the current backstabbing going on..even today.. though it may be a bit harsh!

Urban Meyer will rue the day he started stealing others recruits, he will now wear a big target that says "steal my recruits" and their won't be anything he can say about it. This will get very personal, you think the rivalry's are huge on the field, it will be ten fold between the coaches off of it. I know this happens alot, but Saban is going hard after LSU recruits and now has turned his attention to Florida recruits and in turn Miles and Meyer will do what they can to return the favor, then once Fuller get in on the action, you can forget it, you may see an all out recruiting war in the SEC.

Technically we got 2, Nuss is switching to the D side of the ball a well. and how do you know what Brown does as a defensive coordinator, he has never run a defense before if I am not mistaken, give the man sometime and lets see what happens.

ND and USC hate meyer for stealing recruits. it will get personal next year in recruiting. kinda good and kinda bad i think.

If he had kept his freakin mouth SHUT we would not have lost Trattou.

Ok so we all complain about Meyer being a snake because he "stole" JT, but now you advocate not being open and honest with a recruit just to keep him. Ok so say JT signs the LOI, gets to campus and see's that we lied to him about what the new scheme was going to be. Now not only does he potentially transfer but he can now hurt future recruiting by telling everyone about it. Yeah that makes sense. Look the kid had doubts after the DC change, he moved on thats his choice. Let it go.

No...I am saying that he does not know if he will go to a 3-4. We certainly don't have the personnel for it... But he says it and drives away a great recruit.

It's the other way around, the DE's have to play more like DT's. The most important guy on the line is the nose tackle. He has to be able to stuff the run up the middle and be able to distrupt the oline and take on the double team. What I like about the 3-4 is that you have many options on your blitz packages. You can rush 4 or more and if you do it right, the offense won't see the 4th or 5th guy until the snap. Depending on how good your olb's are, you have the option of going back in forth between the 3-4 and 4-3 just before the snap. New England did this alot with Willie McGinest.
