I missed the show, but what they're saying is a possibility of him being a DE. That would mean our lineup would be this:

DE: Vince Redd
NG: Colin Dugan
DE: Steve Ackley
OLB: Ian Childress
ILB: Stevie Ray Lloyd
ILB: Nick Hursky
OLB: Brandon Duke
CB: Kent Hicks
S: Ryan Greiser
S: Pat Dickerson
CB: Pat Calvary

That would instantly make our defensive line (the part of our defense with the most question marks) better, and our linebackers are so deep that they would still be a solid core.

It could all be speculation. Coach could've just been teasing everyone. I guess we won't know til Saturday. Either way, I've got a feeling they'll do whatever's best for the team.
Whats truly crazy is Proto and I were talking about Vince to DE at the last game because he is much more effective as a pass rusher than covering a 4th wideout. If this move is true i think its a very smart adjustment because then he is either jamming a tight end off the line or wearing out the offensive lineman on either side. I just wish we would have done this a game earlier!

I still would think it would be a "look" and not the whole game, but what do I know.

You'll never get a picture with your camera good enough to use for a signature or background. It's not a good enough camera.

I know it is being promoted in the local paper. Although, its only a 2x2 size.

He's a big dude, too, he's taller than I am and I'm 6'4ish (I would go by program height but we know how that is)

He's just not a "big" guy, although he is strong.

And he's in my History of Sport class, lol.

The ad says "Live from Applebees at TRBC" I bet Applebees didn't know they were "at TRBC".

The ad makes them seem like they're on the campus next to the playground or something :)

I haven't really promoted this show yet on this web-site for various reasons....And I haven't posted anything in any other thread besides the tailgating thread because I can't...But after reading all weekend. it seems like everybody wants to speculate and that's your right as a fan and since everybody has so many questions and is wondering what Coach is thinking or what he is going to do...Why don't you not ask him tomorrow night?? You can send a e-mail if you want to protect yourself flameshotline@liberty.edu or just call...If you want answers then this is the best route to get them. Coach is very open and will answer your questions....This show was created for YOU the fan to be able to interact with the program and ask questions as well give your feedback...Thanks for your support and show your Flames pride tomorrow night....

very good point....we can all complain all we want about things going wrong, but unless we ask the man himself there is no way we are going to get the answers we really want.

So how about we all light up the phone lines this week. Have folks that were AT the game call in, I mean if we have such passionate opinions, why not take this avenue that has been given us and make them known.

Or even better yet ... show up at Applebees in Flames gear and ask questions in person.

There has been so much speculation on here about the staff is thinking it seems obvious what we need to do Tuesday night ... ask the man directly.

I expect Coach will not hold anything back. It's his nature to "Come Clean" if you will. It will be interesting.

To quote "Ron from Lynchburg":

"Two questions, Coach: 1. Why have we changed from the successful defense we had last year to a prevent style defense that's known for losing games and b. why is Brock starting at quarterback when Zack Terrell is the closest thing to Michael Vick that there is in college football?"

The Man was benevolent.

Wow. The first question sounded halfway intelligent. Well, the first half of the first question. The rest is just funny.
