With the change of the defense from a 4-2-5 to a 4-3, there will be some position changes and Pry and Co. move guys to fit their scheme. Offense may have some moves as well so we can keep track here.

McDonald Twins move from Safety to Linebacker.
And
Jinx.
This is fantastic news. Putting Conner at Strong Safety would allow for he, Dax, Artis, and Tisdale to be on the field at the same time. Having four experienced vets like that on the field will be huge to solidifying the defense.
Not sure if joke but I just died a little thinking about that lineup in coverage situations
That could very likely be our base defense. I mean in obvious passing downs we will rotate in a nickel, but Pry favors a 4-3 base look and depends on the Sam linebacker to cover.
I just came back to edit to add that 2nd tweet from Bitter so it works out haha
Not sure how much weight they can hold but if they could get up to 235-240 and still have athleticism that bodes very well for us
RS Freshman and 6'3"+ frames, I bet they could get them up to that range. They may lose a step but that will be plenty still for LBs.
I really hope this works out. It would be super cool to eventually have twins at the starting Sam and Will linebacker spots
Just imagine if their names were Sam and Will?
And each one played the opposite position
Interviewer: Sam, Will you play sam linebacker this year?
Sam: Will I? No, Will will. I will be playing will opposite of Will.
Yeah but Who's on First.?.
This better plaid.
They need to get numbers like #56 and #65
I would hope that we want them to be fast and quick on the field, not still. ;^)
Not really a position change per se, but I saw Gunner Givens say in a Instagram reply that he'll be playing DE at VT. No official word though.
Worth noting we will continue to play 4-2-5 as a sub package. We will be playing more 4-3 in the sense that Pry likes to have a SAM that he lets/trusts to play a lot in coverage.
For those of you who aren't TKPC members, you should really consider it. French's breaking down Pry's scheme and has been discussing the requirements of the new defensive positions. What are you waiting for?

Particularly on mobile, this was more of a benefit than I was expecting when I signed up.
Live look at reading a French article.

I am working on a breakdown of Pry's pressure packages. Some family obligations this week derailed my progress but it will be complete before Valentines Day.
Ooooh valentines day present, you really do love us!
Ooooh valentines day present, you really do love us!
You could say that again
That's redundantly redundant.
I like Conner at Strong Safety. It looks like the SAM linebacker is going to be more like our older days of having an outside linebacker like Cody Grimm or James Anderson
Sounds like a party is brewing in the backfield with meetings at the QB galore!
"Meeting of the McDonald's"
a McDouble if you will
So when they combine on a sack, we can call it a "McDonalds Party?"

The Unhappy Meal
A McDouble?
I've always been a McGangBang fan myself.
Is that on the secret menu?
So secret you have to use the back door.
Even though it's secret, it's still crowded
Who is Meat The Ball Pit? Where are we meeting them?
Since they are both from America...can we say they are McDonald's All-Americans?
No, but they sure as hell are All-American McDonalds
