They didn't try it with Browner in the preseason because they needed to see if Brandon could adequately handle what a safety does normally. He couldn't, and that's why he's gone.
What does Frank Clark have to do with any of this?MizzouHawkGal":17bhla3z said:Correct. And they never played it because it's preseason and why tip your hand in some glorified practice games? Yes preseason is pretty much a waste of time in nearly all cases, realize and accept it. It's obvious the 4/2/5 or some variation of it is coming from the fact that Clark is playing lighter to the fact we have 4 linebackers and 7 safeties.RobDaHawk":17bhla3z said:Well maybe with all these safeties we will now. It's pretty much the role of what we all assumed Browner came back for. It's odd that he never played that role in preseason however.
Yep, I am in no way saying we aren't going to see the big nickel, and soon. I'd bet against it, but something sure seems to be up. I'm just saying that if we see it against MIami, it doesn't mean it was something they were hiding so nobody knew their secrets.TwistedHusky":2q2i8s0z said:Thank you Tical.
You said in 2 sentences what I needed 4 paragraphs to say.
Not saying it isn't possible, this team does weird counterintuitive things all the time. But it makes no sense to say they don't want to do it in preseason because someone will see it. They are going to see it in the first game you play unless you only roll it out for teams like the Carolinas. Then you better hope your guys know how to play it - because might not have it down.
