Shoop/Defense

I have seen some thing that made it sound like we will use some 3 man fronts. Not sure if it will be 3-4 or 3-3-5 or what yet. I do expect to see mostly 4-3 and 4-2-5 defenses though.

I’ve read Bob prefers 4-3, but I haven’t watched any of his film.

It's been awhile since I watched this- but it's from 2016 and is about 15 minutes of his defense at Tennessee. If I remember correctly, I saw mostly 4-3, 4-2-5, a little 3-4 or some nickle with a three man front. The football experts can correct or add to that.

4-2-5 is pretty much a nickel but yea. He was old school 4-3 in short yardage in what I've watched so far. I think he'd be dumb to not use some odd front with our personnel tbh.

On the other hand we are loaded up front, may want to go even fronts to use our depth, get our best players on the field. Im close with a former DL and he said Chauncey Rivers is already our best DL besides Simmons. Pretty impressive considering Sweat, Adams and others. Gerri Green is the ultimate X factor, if we put him in the right spot we may have the best D in MSU history.

The last time we had all time defenses were in a 4-2-5 under Joe Lee Dunn. Hope it turns out that well this time
