Cdog923 Posted December 13, 2016 Share Posted December 13, 2016 I think Stolt would be a great 3-4 DE, but it takes a stud NG in the middle to make it work, and I'm not sure we've got one on the roster yet, nor do I think we've got enough effective pass rushers at the OLB position. I would actually prefer using a 3-2-6 in situational pass-rush downs. Slide Domann and Reed up into an OLB position to blitz with Newby and Roberts playing MLB. That would give flexibility in the pass game as well; allowing the two S/OLB hybrids to drop into coverage as well. Quote Link to comment
VectorVictor Posted December 13, 2016 Share Posted December 13, 2016 I am serious, and don't call me Shirley. And while a 3-4 would help against most of the B1G opponents, won't this cause problems when we play a team like tOSU that is effective through the air? And would our nickel package be a 4-2-5 or a 3-3-5? Quote Link to comment
NUinID Posted December 13, 2016 Share Posted December 13, 2016 I really like 3-5-3 Not many gap 8's played in college and for good reason due to lack of a pass coverage. However I'm the kind of guy that likes to play around with personnel and try new things. Teach found some stuff on the 3-5-3 and implemented it on his football team at the end of the season. From the stuff he showed me, it looks really cool and probably works great at the high school level. It creates a lot of confusion for the offense. Great in HS! If it's run correctly. Pretty versatile in my opinion. The 3-5-3 works great in HS. We ran it where I used to coach before I got out of teaching. It is a very attacking style of a defense that is designed to create confusion in the backfield and get a lot of TOF. It will also give up 2-3 big plays a game. It was very simple and is a great defense to use if you don't have a lot of big linemen. Quote Link to comment

It was very simple and is a great defense to use if you don't have a lot of big linemen. I played against only one 3-5-3 team in HS and I wasn't a fan. Kids are all over the place and can be a little confusing but they lose their assignments very easily. We had more talent, but beat them by 40+ Anytime you only have 3 DBs you leave a lot of big plays open if the offense can get into the 2nd level. That being said I also didn't understand the D since most Midwest HS teams rarely are great at airng it out. Quote Link to comment

Mavric Posted December 13, 2016 Share Posted December 13, 2016 If I remember correctly, Banker and/or Riley is on record as saying the 3-4 is exactly what they'd like to run in the future. I'm pretty sure you do not remember correctly. Quote Link to comment
Saunders Posted December 13, 2016 Share Posted December 13, 2016 3-3-5 is fun. But not in the Big 10 Yup. See Michigan under Rich Rod. Quote Link to comment

husker98 Posted December 14, 2016 Share Posted December 14, 2016 The 3-4 has its advantages, and the 4-3 has its advantages. I like the 3-4 better and i think it helps with recruiting since many pro teams run i these days but there are still plenty of pro's with the venerable 4-3. Quote Link to comment

But "hope to maybe get back to" something he's never really done doesn't exactly sound like a goal to me. Quote Link to comment
