But based on how Mizzou actually played it was a 4-2-5. It was rare for the teams that Stec coached to have 3 LB’s on the field.
When Odom came in is when Mizzou started going with the 3rd LB in Newsome and Green.

Why will the 4-2-5 be successful this time? - SuperTone MU

Isn't the rational thing to do use it against - GA Tiger MU - 8/22 14:32:30

Why be rational ? - Nohawks MU - 8/22 21:00:13

Pretty basic thing almost all teams do. (nm) - mizzou john MU

If you sub out a FB for a WR, you're probably changing - mizzou john MU

- 8/22 19:56:26

I never mentioned a FB, only the RB.(nm) - GA Tiger MU - 8/23 07:12:42

It was an example. A HB or TE would apply equally. (nm) - mizzou john MU

- 8/23 07:22:37

so use it against everyone - wu-tangtiger MU - 8/22 14:42:32

So you disagree with my approach. Why not say why?(nm) - GA Tiger MU - 8/22 18:19:09

pretty much every teams main offensive set has 3 receivers - wu-tangtiger MU - 8/22 18:24:17

Could be. Speed kills. And a truly imaginative coach will - GA Tiger MU - 8/22 18:40:52

When offenses go 4 receivers - wu-tangtiger MU - 8/22 18:43:46

There is no particular counter to using the RB as a WR. - GA Tiger MU - 8/22 19:23:20

It's a friggin nickel defense. Let's not overthink this. - mizzou john MU

- 8/22 13:26:32

Because we have a new CB coach, although w Walters - tigersailor MU - 8/22 10:50:44

Under Walters guidance both Acy and Holmes - wu-tangtiger MU - 8/22 10:53:12

1year of Walters; Walters as been ****ing up the safeties - tigersailor MU - 8/23 10:56:40

if everyone knows their assignment it will work fine - Gamagrass MU - 8/22 10:22:45

I get that it isn't much of a change but for whatever reason - SuperTone MU

I think you are right from what I saw ?somewhere? - Gamagrass MU - 8/22 11:56:23

Why not? - JayHoaxH8r MU

I would agree about the 3-4. You have to recruit at - SuperTone MU

But a case could be made that MU is better equipped for a - alwaysright MU - 8/23 09:05:42

It's what we ran last year and we were just fine vs the run(nm) - eatatjoes MU - 8/22 09:29:40

we ran it part time and a small part time at that - SuperTone MU

- 8/22 09:47:17

How was it a failure under GP? - wu-tangtiger MU - 8/22 09:25:53

Steck built a 4-3, not 4-2-5. Eberflus brought - SuperTone MU

- 8/22 09:46:12

No Stec teams almost always played a 4-2-5 - wu-tangtiger MU - 8/22 09:57:03

Tone is right here. Gary has a 4-2-5 at first and it failed - alwaysright MU - 8/23 09:08:40

It’s all about having more speed on the field - wu-tangtiger MU - 8/23 09:16:20

That’s the hope. - alwaysright MU - 8/23 13:10:57

No.....just no. If you want to argue semantics - SuperTone MU

Nothing wrong with experimentation - samclemens MU

I agree. It really is about the safeties and linebackers, - GeorgiaTiger76 MU - 8/22 09:03:23
