I don't think him sticking to his plan means or implies he's not sold on AU. I could be wrong though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WarDamnEagleWDE 12,737 Posted January 14, 2019 Share Posted January 14, 2019 Also, MAR isn't going to be the every down back that AU needs right away. Griffin could be that guy. Anyways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would be ecstatic if HJ moves to rb! I want to see what he can do if given the chance to play a full series or two and really gets going. If he runs like he did on those wildcat plays all the time it would be a huge boost to our running back game. I really hope being in sec practices/games have toughened him up and he can turn the corner. The big knock on him here/ this board was his toughness. I think the skill set is there for development if our new rb coach can bring up to sec level! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As ellitor said above, I think Hall is calling the buck position a linebacker. What's the difference between a buck and OLB?

Both guys have all the physical tools necessary to be RB1 for us IMO. Both are physically similar to extremely successful RBs that Gus has had here. Just a matter of how each handles the jump to college, how well they pick up the offense, how well they block, etc. Probably hard to tell how that's going to shake out at this point. But physically? Yeah, you're pretty much looking at CAP and KJ. Take your pick. I'd love to get both and just hope at least one of them can realize his potential for us.

In Coach Steele's scheme a Buck has been a Rush End although he would like to have guys he felt could be hybrid DE-LB & drop in coverage some. The OLB in his system is a hybrid LB-Safety who is expected to be a good run stopper against power set teams & be able to cover TEs & slot WRs in the passing game.

aucanucktiger 1,789 Posted January 15, 2019 Share Posted January 15, 2019 Oh so Moore's chances are "65%" of signing with us? Not 64 or 66? Gotta laugh at this stuff sometimes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Other than not dropping in coverage as much Look at last year's team. Starting OLB's were D. Williams and M. Atkinson. Starting Buck was Nick Coe, with Big Cat Bryant as the #1 backup. Quite a bit of difference in the physical characteristics there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd rather see Jibunor moved to LB than Moultry. Judging simply from watching both play this past season. I believe Jibunor is more agile. Moultry reminds me of a wrecking ball, whatever gets directly in his path will be wrecked, but one small sidestep and it's a miss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
