Studying up so I understand fsu defense better in 24. This explains our LB sizes. Prototypical fsu LB is only 6'1" 210, but cover extremely well. I was curious why they seemed undersized.
How is it a cross between a 4-4? Is it because you can throw 2 nickel or "cheetah" types out there, who can be like 2 linebackers if you need them to be?
Interesting. Navy runs a 4-2-5 out a 3-4 set. I'm trying to understand their Raider and Striker positions. Granted, academy players aren't the biggest or best athletes so I'm operating based on "ideal" prototypes Raider seems to be an athletic DE moved to OLB who can rush the passer and cover occasionally, but also has good size. Striker seems to a bigger SS moved to OLB to add great coverage on backs and TEs. It's a unique concept that I'm trying to understand.
There are so many variations of it. Our school runs it but we have more traditional spots. A mike, a will, and our typical 3-4 SAM is our Star. He is a nickle type. Least physical LB most physical saftey.
@@Gmorktron apparently our coach ran it before he came to Navy. He was at Kennesaw State previously. I think it's unique because your striker can be kicked out to the slot without even having to rotate personnel, and the Raider can put his hand in the dirt and all of the sudden, it's a Nickel, or you can push the striker further off the line for a more traditional 4-2-5.

Lundy and Deloach were great in this system
The best defense
Could have a Nickleback, or "Star" S -LB hybrid. Interesting defense

@SimFootballFanatic With offensive coordinators being more flexible in their formations and motions DCs had to do the same.
Lions should draft JL skinner Owen pappoe Witherspoon adebawore this year for they 4-2-5
Shouldn’t the mike be the A GAP defender and the Sam be a B gap defender/coverage guy
Generally that’s how it works out but in this defense you have a 3T, 5T and a nickel sitting out the the TE on the strong side so the Sam is in the A
Easier when Sam is always strong side/te side
