Hmm, I think he basically said that the defense needs more time to learn the scheme.
My read on it is that there are some position groups that don't have all of the offense and defense install 100% down yet, and the time would be better spent focusing on that before game planning for a specific opponent.
There is little depth on the defensive side, a lot of new faces, that still need reps in order to get better for the season and more importantly the Nebraska game. Moving those kids to scout team this early won't help them get better when they have to step into major roles when injuries hit. Atleast that is the way I took it.
This - along with Summers comment about install at the end of spring and his comments on scheme in his recent interview - could be a key early in the season.
That's all well and good, but unfortunately, 8/30 can't be postponed...
Sounds like it may be hard to keep Vontae off the field this year.
My take is that with a 3 WR set the starters are Viska, KD and Stanley.
Sounds like the next guy in the rotation is Brown, with Arias, Jackson and Bell in some mix there.
And then Vontae is doing well to force his way up though that mix.
That would leave Huffman-Dixon as a redshirt this season.

I never think too hard.
Given that both Viska and Landman flashed big time as true freshman on a meh team, many on this board were calling for them to get much more PT. If Mel Tucker were the coach then, we certainly would’ve seen them getting many more snaps in 2017.
Sure, me included. But we really had no idea they were THAT good.
Senior Alex Tchangam has been playing opposite sophomore Carson Wells at outside linebacker the last couple of days, with senior Nu'umotu Falo also getting some work there … Aaron Maddox got some work alongside Mikial Onu at safety with the No. 1s … Isaiah Lewis, who has also had time there, had some nice plays with the No. 2 group …

Based on the above and other reports, I'm starting to get a better idea -- I think -- of our base defenses. Please let me know if this makes sense to you guys.
Base Run: 3 DL, 2 ILB, 2 OLB, 1 STAR, 1 FS, 2 CB
Base Pass: 3 DL, 1 ILB, 2 OLB, 1 STAR, 2 FS, 2 CB
Nickel: 3 DL, 1 ILB, 1 OLB, 1 STAR, 2 FS, 3 CB
Does that look right?

Maybe he's being obtuse, but Tucker said yesterday this week is practice, working on us, not game planning.
Based off that article it seems they are wanting to run with the traditional 2 OLB in most sets, so it seems you are right in that area. I can see more why safety depth could be a bigger problem than cb depth.
The article also mentions Onu has secured a spot on the #1 defense. Good to see
I also like this base run and pass defense against Nebraska and other running teams. They can do a whole lot better holding the edge than last year. Was a constant issue with MM teams when they brought in that buff position.

CU Buffs’ Will Sherman settling in at right tackle
Having started the last nine games of the 2018 season at left tackle, Colorado’s Will Sherman had grown rather comfortable on that side of the offensive line.

From Rolltad’s post above, it sounds like camp is over and practices begin in the next day or so. Assuming they get the weekend off, that gives them 6 days of practice before Thursday’s walk through.

Looks right. The STAR position is the one that intrigues me most.
I see it differently a bit.
Base Run: yes, but two safeties, no Star
Base D (nickel): 3 DL, 2 ILB, 2 CB, 2 S, Star
Base Pass (dime): 2 DT wide, 2 rush OLB (1 drop on certain situations), 2 CB, 2 S, 1 ILB, 1 Money
Basing this on Kirby 3-4 article, Spring game, camp open practice and lingo used by Summers.

Just stay healthy and that is a good top six.
Your take does not make a lot of sense either. Depth means quality depth, that you can rely on backups because a team needs to rely on them over 12 games. Few teams have that depth at all 22 positions, but plenty have had more than the Buffs over the last decade. Experience is only one factor because fifth year seniors can be experienced and liabilities on the field at the same time.
The problems the Buffs face are not the same as top teams because injuries at certain spots could render an entire side of the ball ineffective. Other teams have more talent to absorb losses.

Not to mention ray and fillip too.
Davian Taylor said he is working at the Money (Hybrid ILB/Safety) as well as Star so I think you are right with one of the safety's in Nickel being the Money.
Taylor played Money in the dime at the open practice. It’s a deep ILB/short safety with responsibilities for the TE or RB out of the backfield. That lets Landman (yes, he will play on third down this year) be a free ILB/underneath S. It’s like the Kam Chancellor underneath position at Seattle back in the day. He is going to have some opportunities for monster hits (and targeting) for passes over the middle this year.
This is a real 3-4. None of that buffbacker crap. This is how the big boys do it.
