This is how it should be every year:
"I don't know what's changing because I've not watched a whole lot of the past. There will be times we line up with three down linemen, there will be times we line up with four down linemen. It will vary based on what the offense is doing and also what we think our best personnel is," Pruitt said. "We need to find out who we are first of all. If you've got some really good defensive linemen it doesn't make much sense to just play with three of them. We've got to figure out who we are and at the end of the day, but when you start putting up defensive fronts, it's just X's. You can say they're an outside linebacker, you can say they're a defensive end."
I like it. Play to our strengths. He also stated that Spring is open competition for ALL spots on defense. Cant fricking wait.

Sounds like just what the doctor ordered.

I love Pruitt too, love the hell out of him. But to be fair, Grantham said the exact same things.

Play to the strength of your personnel. Gee, what a novel concept.
Frick you Grantham.

Frick you Grantham.

One of them won a national title last year...the other forgot to tell 2 secondary guys to bat the ball down on 4th and 17......I'll let you decide who is who.

They may have said the same sort of things, but Grantham had no real history to back it up. Plus Grantham was at best Richt's 4th or 5th choice for the job whereas Pruitt was at the top of the list.

True, but Grantham obviously DGAF about us. Pruit at least has shown he will do it with FSU last year

So we will run a "3.5-3.5"
The 3-4 might be the worst defense to stop todays hurry up/spread/QB read offense.

That's okay, Grantham ran a 3-5-4 on most 3rd downs...

I'd like to see more 4-2-5 or 2-4-5 if you want to really get after the QB like the Giants "Nascar" package but roll Jenkins and Floyd to DE and move Drew and Bailey inside

Yep, the difference needs to be where the rubber meets the road. Either our guys will be better prepared (know what to do) and have better fundamentals (you know tackling and covering) or they won't. Time will tell.
