Help me out UGA fans.

Walker did an interview today with 247. He was quoted as saying that Pruitt told him that his system plays with 5 DE's in the game. Walker said that he made it known that he wants to play with his hand in the dirt, and NOT play as an OLB.

I thought Pruitt used mostly a 4-3 but did mix in some 3-4 at FSU. How is he going to get 5 DE's on either one of those defenses looks? For arguments sake, let's say he even puts on 25 lbs b/w now and when he gets to UGA's campus. Do you think he has a shot to contribute right away as a 6'2" 235 lbs in a 4-3 or 3-4 defense?

I think this is the opposite of what he will do at UGA this year, just because of our personnel. In a couple years when he's recruited his guys, I think the plan is to be a pure hybrid. A NT, a DT, and a DE that would be similar to what you would find in a 4-3. Opposite of him will be the Jack, who can play standing up (creating a 3 man front) or with his hand down (4 man). The Jack would be similar to the rush OLBs in a pure 3-4.

Then 3 linebacker, one of which (Sam) would be another hybrid type player. Could be a DE/LB hybrid or a LB/S hybrid depending on the package.

The idea is to get as many athletes on the field as possible to combat the spread. UGA will be extremely multiple going forward. I don't know about 5 DE's, but we'll have some pretty exotic looks depending on personnel.
