Does Harold Perkins spy on QB Jordan Travis Sunday?

Harold did a phenomenal job staying on KJ Jefferson last year, but will he do the same with Jordan Travis? Even though he’s not a run-first QB, JT does extend plays with his legs.
Last year Travis only rushed for 417yds and 7 TDs but his career numbers are 1676 rushing yds and 24 TDs.

He spied Malik Hornsby, KJ didn’t play.

Seems like having Perkins spy Travis would be a great way to neutralize his (Perkins) effect on the game. Since that's not what we're really trying to do, I don't think you see it very much.

I think I'd prefer him to rush and not spy? But I'm just a fan

Would be a waste for Perkins to spy Travis.
Next question….

Ahh yes you are correct. I forgot about that.

I would hope not. Need him applying pressure.
Posted on 8/30/23 at 11:39 am to JohnnyBgood
I think it has to be part of the game but we will contain Travis first then go get him.
Posted on 8/30/23 at 11:40 am to JohnnyBgood
Just depends on what our gameplan is going to be.

I agree when you are talking about a traditional spy but Perkins attacks when he spies. The idea is flush the QB with the DL and then Perkins attacks like a heat seeking missile. If we are worried about their WRs vs our DBs, we need to move their QB off his mark and then have Perkins make his life miserable.

Agree. If we lose and people feel we limited Perkins by our gameplan it will be interesting to see the reaction.

On 3rd qnd long you green dog perkins in a spy role. Just let him play with natural instincts

The spy is only useful when you have secure defensive coverage and an incredibly mobile quarterback.
For all we know, our secondary is/could be the worst group on the team. So, you attack the quarterback, disguise coverages, and feast on sacks/turnovers.
Considering Perkins is the best pass rusher/athlete on the team where do you think he fits in schematically this game? Do you think they let him sit idle and wait for Travis to make his move? Or do you unleash Perkins to do what he does best? Logic says the latter.

“Mad dog/Green dog blitz” or delay blitz him a bunch. You have to ensure the RB stays in for pass pro, if he stays, blitz, if he doesnt, “spy”. Mix that up with him off the edge and also traditional MLB. Omar Speights can motion out and allows us to keep Perk in the box, but he most likely will have to defend their TEs (Jaheim Bell gonna be a problem imo).
You can also have Greg Brooks come down and have 1 high safety, which allows Omar and Perk to stay in the box and have Omar guard the TE. Lots of variables but I would mad scientist the hell out of our defense hahahah

I think the way he played in the Bama game would be more of an indication on how he will playin in this game. Travis scrambles to throw not run a lot like Bryce Young. He still spied Young on occasion but in the Arky game I think that’s all he did the entire game.

He's gonna spy their whole offense.

I’m taking a shot every time I hear or read the word spy this season.

He’ll be lined up in different locations and have different responsibilities each play. Optimize his versatility. Then on obvious passing downs watch out cuz he’s comin.
Posted on 8/30/23 at 12:02 pm to JohnnyBgood
He will probably spy on 3rd and long situations

We didn't play KJ last year. But yes Harold will spy Jordan Travis at times on Sunday. He is very good at getting out of pressure and spinning out of sacks. Harold is going to be used as a rusher and spy during obvious passing downs.
