I think it’s you all that have been harping on not having safeties being deep and doing their jobs. For about 5 or 6 years.
This is nice to hear.

Part of the problem is schematic. When you are undersized up front, play only 2 linebackers (precluding you from playing or really even recruiting a true run plugging middle LB), and play a third corner instead of a true "star" (safety/LB hybrid) you are terribly weak vs the run. Your safeties cheat up to help with run defense and get caught. We will see how much that changes. Id like to see that Sam backer on the field and nickel corner sitting against these running teams. Id also like to see a true strong safety and free safety pair instead of just playing two free type safeties with interchangeable roles. Think RFN playing deep and Joiner up front.
There is a downside. If you have a heavy safety and the offense runs motion you have to flip strong and weak side. Given how complex our defenses are this shouldn't really be a problem. We end up dropping one of the safeties down on many plays anyway. It is also weaker in coverage versus the slot receiver.
Given how many teams we play are run oriented versus passing oriented I think it's the right move. Alabama switchef to this really light defense a few years back, primarily to counter Ohio State and Clemson but it just doesn't make sense for most SEC offenses. At least to me.

I can assure you HC Billy Napier will leave nothing to chance. His microscopic analysis to what would be to us the most inconsequential detail is unparalleled in the league. Paid huge dividends to our win/loss record over his so far two seasons here at UF. We are in good hand, I promise you that.

I will believe it when I see it. Job #1. Deeper than the deepest. I hear about the tackling etc. If your safeties are making great tackles, 10+ yards downfield you are a shyt team. do not care about hard hitters, that just gets you penalized. Route recognition, technique and making plays on the ball. I hear about the INTs in scrimmages but are they plays made by the secondary or shyt throws by the QB? Wake me up when we have real safety play.

Well in a sense he is wrong. I never asked where the game was being played only where I could watch it on TV. So...

I still don’t know what you’re asking?
But whatever ticket scam you’ve been presented with, let me know the number and I’ll get them for you for half.
