I just got home from work. I got 3 emails from 3 of my coaching friends (1 in MT, 1 in NV, and 1 in CA), they all hinted at the same thing after watching the Poly game. Here is what they are asking, maybe someone closer to the program that takes in practices can answer this.
They were surprised our defense did not experiment with additional run defense sets such as 5-2, 4-6 (many variations of it), or even resort to goal line packages being we were being gauged so badly against their run game. I actually have not paid much attention to the GRIZ defensive sets except in passing downs. They asked, what other defensive sets do the GRIZ run other than the 4-3? They feel our defense would fair much better and be more diverse if the GRIZ had more packages at our disposal. I really don't know. Does anyone know?
Of course that led me to being curious regarding our upcoming games against Sac State, EWU, and MSU, can we comfortably use nickel and dime packages more often against these high powered offenses? It looks like those packages would be much needed to slow those offenses down.
Thanks in advance for any and all input. :thumb:
