"On the LBs and pass coverage: Saban mentions he'll only have one linebacker in the game because Texas A&M runs four-wide."
I'm little confused about that. I may be little slow on the depth chart between 3-4 formation, Nickel and Dime...... But I know what 3-4 depth is.. but what is the depth for Nickel ?
The front 4 would be Allen, Robinson, Pettway and Reed. <- Right?
Then LBs would be Dickerson, Depriest, Ragland, and Anderson
CB: Jones and Brown/Jackson
Safety : Smith/Perry and Collins
So my question is.. if we are going to have one LBs... who do we leave in as one LBs? Ragland? Depriest? I'm little confused by that... and who takes the "LB" position since A and M will go 4 wide? Will it be Geno Smith or they could try and play Tony Brown and Eddie Jackson at same time? or Play Smith and Perry ? Someone explain to me?
