I think he may have removed that tweet because I click on it and it takes me to a blank page.

It’s still up don’t worry. Coach O and other members of the staff are really hyping this player up on Twitter too

Apparently these kids can’t announce in cold weather.

Is this the Oregon LB/DE transfer or are we referring to someone else?

I’m assuming, but I’m not entirely sure. He tagged Gary.

So, did the DL commit...not commit?

DL was one of the weakest links on the team last year....besides DC.

Jake Shipley has played both OLB and DL. He played DL in High School and was moved to linebacker at Oregon. I'd imagine he's coming to us to play DL.

It's probably him then, thanks!

Yes, Shipley is listed as an Edge rusher.

Do "edge rushers" check for off-tackle/end runs before going after the QB? Because one of the most effective runs against our defense was a simple off-tackle run to the left. I think on two occasions it got a TD, and on other occasions it got very large gains. We're not talking about trick plays with lots of motion. They just handed it to the RB and he straight away took of toward the left DE (who often wasn't there) and was often untouched by anyone playing any position in the DL.

The most simple play has been killing us all the way back to the year App State made our defense look comical. There is a video on youtube that breaks down the Iowa State 3-3-5 and points out how the off tackle run is the main weakness and requires the middle (star) safety to crash downhill and keep the run to 3 yards or less. It will remain a problem I'm not convinced we have the personnel to run this defense.
