I truly believe that the Chief should (if he isn't already) refering to some of the 2011 season tapes of his third down dime set that pretty much just was a 3-1-7 package. We had the personel to run it and he did. Even an undersized Mingo was on the DL for that package and it was all about speed.

It brought a speed rush with blitzes from any and sometimes every direction into the mix and it worked! That package was often more fun to watch than Oregon's offense against a Pac D.

This is why the staff can pull so many guys in the secondary for this class... they will use them if they are worthy of seeing the field. History has proven this and that is the best recruiting tool that we might have in this situation where we are looking at a half dozen blue chip DBs.

On a side note, couldn't Hootie play as a strong side OLB anyway?

Macho, this is sound thinking. Especially with the need for numerous DB's with so many in the SEC now running a more spread offense with multiple WR's. LSU will be in dire need of all this tallent. Can't wait.
