Some Interesting Harrison Speculation

#13

Now, that player can be called whatever the hell the Defense wants, but to me the title is very telling as to how the Offense thinks.

When the Offense refers to a Nickel SAM, what they are looking for is the guy that is Coverage first but is looking to support the Run defense -or- is Run support first and is going to have to cover. In other words, who is the guy that is out of place? Find him and give him hell. If he's light, run at him. If he's big, make him run.

The emergence of Harrison as a player that can fit either role and not require substitution due to personnel changes is a huge boon for this Defense.

This is something I've been interested in for a long, long time.

Makes too much sense.  Virginia Tech has been doing something similar with their whip.

Having a guy who can play an lb or ss role against the run, then switch to more of a coverage role against the pass without having to substitute is a plus against quick offenses and no huddle situations.  It can turn the tables by taking something offenses exploit and using it against the offense by eliminating their mismatch.
