Something interesting I’ve noticed at #Sooners practice is where Brent Venables spends his time. Last year, you could always find him with the inside linebackers. Not the case this year. It’s all Zac Alley. Venables roams. Today, he spent a good amount of time with the safeties.
It’s also pretty clear that Alley is going to have a huge role in what they’re doing defensively. Idk if he will call plays, but he is talking to everyone on defense, from the defensive line to the corners. Venables is still very much involved, but he clearly trusts Alley a lot.
@GeorgeStoia What I found interesting is that two or three of the defensive players that were interviewed said that Alley has been dumbing things down and making things more simple so they can play faster. I thought that was very interesting.
@GeorgeStoia @TheTunnel_OU He got two badasses over there running the practice between Alley and Stutsman.
