Does this mean lefty can't make "on campus yet" jokes?
Hardly.
Any chance he has some eligibility left?
Also shows some interest in self preservation!

Interesting in that the article just takes quotes from Howell's article from a couple weeks ago.
I wonder if the staff plans on using Alfano on the outside on early downs then moving him inside on passing situations? Will be interesting to see how that would work and the thought going forward on that.

Outside to outside?
Sounds like a good plan. Unless we want to use him on the outside.
Sorry, fixed
What do you mean by "outside" on early downs? If you mean something like playing a 4-3 except for obvious passing situations, I don't see it at all because that's not our system. And he's not an OLB.

I think he means having alfano rush standing up
Which makes him a 4-3 DE. That's not our defense.
A DE is not a stand up player regardless of the defense.
Meh. If he's on the line of scrimmage and he doesn't have coverage responsibilities, he's a DE regardless of whether he is in a 2 or 3 point stance. Functionally, you're no longer running a 3-4 if that's the scheme.

I disagree. If you look at a lot of Elite pass rushers their teams tend to have packages where they get them standing on obvious passing downs. In a 3-4, it’s not unheard of to have a guy like Alfano edge rush standing.
That's not the same thing. That's what we used to do with Gilbert. It's a 5-2 Under and that guy could drop out as part of a zone blitz. I think people are trying to figure out how to start our 4 really good DLs and play some mental gymnastics to try to figure out how 4 DLs is not a different base defense. Alfano is not an OLB.
Give me a break. A lot of defenses call their 9 technique an end. It is just a matter of terminology.
