Hope he does well. He looks like a Lawson clone. A WR/S in HS that is uber athletic, but struggled to learn and play within Pitt's scheme. It will be interesting to see if a change of scenery and coaching can get him right.
Sorensen and the 49ers run a very different defense: 4-2-5 wide-9 with zone coverages behind it. While I think APR would have been good in this defense as the Wide-9 speed rusher (like Nick Bosa), I don't think VT would have the personnel or coaches to run it. You need two run-stopping DTs, free-ranging read-and-react LBs that identify the gaps and fill them or fall back in zone coverage, and zone-coverage DBs (including 3 CBs, and often 2-high safety look). The Foster/Pry defense utilizes gap-shooting DTs, gap filling and spilling LBs, a hybrid safety/LB STAR, and man coverage DBs. And I don't think any of the VT position coaches have experience in that style of defense. If VT were to try and implement that scheme, every opposing team be able to run the ball up the middle and pick apart the zone coverage.
Sorensen would be a huge get though. Name recognition, VT guy from NoVA, and players like him. But no college coaching experience. No idea if he can recruit. And scheme is not a fit for VT.
Tony Rojas! ROJAS! TONY ROJAASSS! ROJAS, ROJAS, ROJAS, ROJAS! Football is life!
I can't see him taking that step back there. Not saying he would come here but when you only get one year from Shanahan, why stay for less. Plenty of teams looking for DCs.
I don't know. Saw where they dismissed him from DC but were wanting to keep him in "some other role"
It's also completely shocking to me that with, 3 multi-time Pro-Bowlers, none of the LoB have been nominated for the Hall even with 3 reaching eligibility requirements.
That's unreal to me. The 49ers were 8th in Defensive Yards Allowed. They were 22nd against the run but 4th against the pass. They just seemed to always be on the field as injuries plagued their offense.
The offense left them facing quite a few short fields as well.
Saw where Nick Sorenson was let go by the Niners. Possibly the man?
Way to reel in the Bass.
Allowed? He just takes them down himself
He was the number one recruit for Pitt in 2023. Suck it Nardouche!
WHO'S NEXT? WHAT OTHER HOLES?
I'm gonna need this level of positivity from you during the season next year
Mills, starting tackle for Louisville word is we were close with him on his last transfer. He's played like 2300 collegiate snaps and allowed 4 sacks....Clements does that in a single Saturday so I want Mills.
Also buddy has no allegiance just a free lancer. OkS -> TT -> Louisville -> VT?????
Louisville starting offensive tackle Monroe Mills has filed paperwork to enter the transfer portal, multiple sources tell @On3sports.The former Oklahoma State and Texas Tech transfer has played 2,335 career snaps and has allowed 4 career sacks. https://t.co/XRG1Ctfsu4 pic.twitter.com/GlchtX2Umr— Pete Nakos (@PeteNakos_) January 7, 2025
Fair point
Kenny brooks can imagine it
Of all the names that have been mentioned on this site, I just have a hard time not thinking that it's Dex since he' still coaching and an announcement hasn't been made yet.
I've been saying we should back up the money truck for a good one. Not anyone specifically, just be willing to pay. After all, they say defense wins championships.
I can't imagine stepping away from semifinal prep for an interview, but that job environment is pretty hard for me to imagine in general.
Unless he's helping provide smokescreen? Or there really isn't a decision yet, in which case, I don't know why he'd say it's NOT him.
Okay, so if it is Poindexter, who might he be bringing with him in the portal? >=^)
Position of need, good size, pipeline potential, and highly rated, Big pickup!
Thanks for that clarification. Definitely throws a wrench into all the other signs that seem to be pointing at Dex
Not sure how true, or if the people have legit sources or not, but I've been seeing Donavon Green, WR from Wake Forest name float around on X about possibly coming.
So backup Star then?
