SAMS Club

Senator Blutarsky points out the diminishing role of the SAM linebacker as a result of more teams going to a spread offense. Basically, it requires the use of a nickel package and the SAM linebacker is the odd man out.

Looking to the '08 schedule, no less than 6 of the teams that we play use the spread as their primary formation.


  1. Central Michigan

  2. South Carolina

  3. Tennessee

  4. Florida

  5. Kentucky

  6. Auburn ( the Spread Eagle _________________) insert appropriate comment

You'll also see a great deal of it from everybody else with the exception of Ga Southern & Tech.


Breaking up the gang?

I'm mainly disappointed due to the fact that we have alot of depth at LB and it's a shame that the PT has to be split up so many ways. Dent & Gamble have been getting time at MLB but that still gives us somewhat of a dilemna. Do we really want Ellerbe and Curran off the field any more than necessary? If Hebron has atoned for his transgressions (and all reports are that he has), he's a monster talent that needs some reps too. Good luck to the coaches that are trying to work it out.
