They generated no pass rush and got killed in the run game. On run plays how do they stop us and on pass plays how does Beck not have 10 seconds to find a receiver?

Key Elements of Tony White's 3-3-5 Defense

  • Flexibility:The 3-3-5 base allows for the scheme to morph into traditional looks and creates diverse formations, making the defense less predictable for offenses.
  • Aggression and Chaos:The defense aims to create chaos for opposing offenses by bringing pressure from different angles and disguising blitzes to keep quarterbacks uncomfortable.
  • Player Versatility:The scheme requires athletic linebackers and secondary players who can transition between rushing the passer, stopping the run, and dropping into coverage.
  • Hybrid Roles:Safeties are often used to bring pressure, acting as hybrid linebacker/safety roles, while linebackers must be adept at rushing and covering.
  • Matchup-Specific Adjustments:White's defense employs both odd (three-down) and even (four-down) fronts, adapting to opponent strengths, such as using more even fronts against teams with multiple tight ends.
  • Conceptual Understanding:White's defensive philosophy emphasizes teaching players concepts rather than memorizing individual responsibilities, allowing for a more adaptable and intelligent defense.
How the Scheme Works in Practice

  • Fronts:The base is a 3-3 front (three down linemen, three linebackers) but can morph into a four-down front by shifting linemen.
  • Pressure and Coverage:The defense can utilize various pressure combinations, including dropping eight defenders into coverage with only three rushers, or bringing six rushers with one dropping into coverage.
  • Secondary Adjustments:The secondary players are responsible for adjusting to formations, allowing the front seven to maintain a consistent box structure.
  • Strategic Disguise:The defense uses creative blitzes and coverage looks to confuse offenses and create mismatches.
 
More or less, yes. I can’t see it either. Mario should go heavy a few times just to see if they adjust. Start T formation, some 2 RB/2te sets. We could go Army ground and pound all day to make it fugly.

I’d hate it and love it. Maybe a few outside zone/counters with Lyle/Fletcher break off long runs. Those safeties will be 5-8 off the line giving us lots of long pass 1on1 options with the likes of Moore, Marion, CJ, Trader on play action.

Beck didn’t look good last game - dropping 8 against him would worry me. I feel like this is going to be a push forward run game.

It was a downpour for 2.5 quarters with a UCL repair of 7-8months throwing a heavy ball. They also can’t drop 8 when we love to run. I expect 11 with 8 yards

Beck didn’t have a great game in a downpour. They can drop 8 lol. The intermediate routes and lofton could have a huge game.

Yeah and it's junk.

Vs a running team your cooked.

You won't get big gashes but you let up 3-7 yards a hit often.

Tony White was the DC when we last win a bowl game and Richt, and more specifically Ahmon Richards just tore him.

They run a 3-3-5 but it’s not the 1996 West Virginia stack with three linemen and three linebackers behind them. One linebacker is just an edge/pass rush guy and one safety is a hybrid rover/linebacker. They don’t line up any different than most teams in the modern game.

Yep , people hear 3-3-5 they think that’s a small defense or there’s a numbers advantage . But it can as easily be a 4-2-5 with that LB on the edge. It’s just another way of giving more looks , it’s not that serious.

#9 is the key player. Teams want to drop in 2 and 3 deep soft zone and keep players around the line to help with the run. This opens up room for #9 to get to work in the open field. Dawson already using the RB's a ton. Brown has been good catching the ball. Beck and Dawson are going to feast.

I like anyone of the rbs, hybrid tes here
Love to have lyle back. A nice swing pass to flat and he could be running free often
Also, leaning on the 3 dl for 4 qtrs will beat them down
