Richard likes new D-line scheme
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
It’s understandably overlooked in all the hubbub about Georgia Tech switching offenses, but the Yellow Jackets have made some changes on defense, too.
Here’s one: The defensive ends are lining up wider and angling in from there. That has implications for their teammates, too.
“It allows us as defensive tackles to get more one-on-one opportunities,” Darryl Richard said. “It gives you a little more freedom.
“You have a good idea before the snap whether the offensive tackle is going to work a double team or kick slide out to on that defensive end.”
The defensive line of Richard and Vance Walker inside and Michael Johnson and Derrick Morgan outside shapes up as the strongest unit on the Yellow Jackets.
