    Dexter Hill on 2-deep

    QB Dexter Hill listed on 2-deeps for the first time this year.

    I also noticed that the defensive 2-deeps are now laid out as a 4-3 defense....

    Anyone with thoughts or have some inside info?

    Can't Wait for Saturday!!!!!

    Go Panthers!!!!!

    Backup QB Nick Nelson has been playing a lot on Special Teams, that might have something to do with Hill being tied with him for #2 QB.

    This might be a way that they travel 3 QBs on the road.

      We have been

      Playing more and more 4-3 as the season has progressed. Mostly I feel it has to do with personel being more suited to play the 4-3. Herman seem more comfortable in a stance. It also seems that we have been using 5 db's or either a nickel type of defense or a hybrid, sort of off-shoot of the 4-3, again this may be due to personel as we seem to have an abundance of capable safeties on this squad. I am not sure coach is really pleased with his depth at the linebacker position or with some of the personel at the OLB position which is probably another reason why we deploy the extra safety at either an OLB or roverback spot. Not inside info just a guess or observation. I have not heard much of Hill since he stepped on campus and with all respect to him I hope the only reps our back-up qb's get is in a blowout in our favor. Sanders has played superbly this year so far.

            From what I've been told...Hill has always been the #2 QB..just not on paper. He has been the one who has taken most of the snaps with the #2's all season in practice. I think you are right cc, the idea is that if they don't need him, they may redshirt him and then we'll have a solid backup for 2 years behind Sanders.

            If Sanders goes down, knock on wood, for just a play or two, you will probably see Nelson...but if it's a serious injury, i.e. Petrie last year, expect Hill to be one who takes over.

              Nothing wrong with having 2, or 3, good QBs. Last year proved that.
