With all the talent we have at OLB what's the chances he moves inside to play ILB? He looks very explosive and strong

His pass rushing will keep him at olb.

I expect Pruitt to rotate guys a lot more than Grantham ever did. Grantham tended to play the same guys constantly all game (except for some rotations on the DL last year). Brown should see time

Pruitt moves guys around (much like we would put Ogletree on the outside for a possible blitz).
Brown is the type of player that will line up in multiple spots for us (outside, stacked behind the DE in nickel when we overload/blitz, and inside).
Pruitt crowds the line a lot. It's not an amoeba defense. But it definitely makes the OL a little slower in their assignments.

Thank you Sonny for explaining his scheme to these young ones... Now go on and tell them there is a very good possibility that we will see Carter line up as a speed rusher on the outside. Everyone seems to believe he will play LB. Very well could... but I still believe he'll play some on the D-Line as well.

I'm not a Carter expert. I'm not really a Pruitt expert although I've watched 3 games with the pause/rewind button.
Pruitt uses 3-4 and 4-3 schemes (main pass rushers lined up across the tackles). However, he crowds the line a ton. You'll see 7 or 8 guys along the line of scrimmage in goalline.
In the 3-4 scheme, you'll have your 3 down linemen (not as big as our conventional 3-4 defense) across the offensive linemen and then the outside linebacker in a 9 technique would be a Carter. Grantham's 3-4 often didn't have the 4th rusher on the line of scrimmage. And when he did, it might have been a little tighter along the line (7 technique). edit: Grantham would use a 5-2 front with our base 3-4 personnel. However, the OLBs were not in a wide pass rush technique so much as stuffing the run with more beef along the line(DoubleEdit): Grantham often only used the 3-4 when the opponent had a tight end and fullback/hback set. Pruitt would use this against a spread offense as easily as he would a 4 man front.
Pruitt's other scheme isn't really a 4-3 so much as it is a nickel/dime set with 2 edge rushers in a 5 or 6 technique. The position is essentially the same as Grantham's nickel defense where we would see Jordan Jenkins, Ray Drew, or Leonard Floyd across from the offensive tackle (could be a DE or OLB depending on how much beef we want to set the edge against the run).
The biggest nickel variation that Pruitt likes to employ is crowding the line of scrimmage. He will either set the safety and star position in the box. Or he will overload one side of the line of scrimmage. He often did this after a spread offense converted a first down (he would send at least 5 after a first down. sometimes a blitz. often a zoneblitz when he jailbreaks one side). In this zoneblitz, I wouldn't be shocked if Carter was off of the line of scrimmage in a linebacker spot and there was a Jordan Jenkins standing right in front of him.
Pruitt uses guys for multiple looks/positions.
He had All ACC players in the defensive backfield at FSU. I'm guessing that he still would be this aggressive at UGA with the talent that we currently have.

Seahawks were more like BVG in my opinion in that they were comfortable dominating the game with a 4 man pass rush.
The Seahawks are like Pruitt in that they ask a lot of the DBs (tight man or man/zone coverage).
The Seahawks (in the superbowl) were a very basic team. I don't see that from the film I watched with Pruitt. He asks a ton from his players. I don't think he's any more simple than Grantham. His concepts might be simpler (ie. crowd the line after a first down and rush 5+). But a player is going to have to learn a lot more, in my opinion than what Grantham asked (ie. play the safety responsibilities in a bump and run setting in addition to all of the other ways to line up and/or roll).
