The 3-3-5
I can't post over on CB for another day, but Sale's over there saying we'll never be successful with the 3-3-5, because we can't get the personnel.
http://www.cougarboard.com/noframes/...tml?id=1662609 Am I missing the point or his he? Our personnel problem has always been cornerbacks, not safeties. In fact, I seem to recall that we generally have pretty good safeties. The scheme uses 3 safeties, not 3 cornerbacks. When you consider that one of the safeties is more like a hybrid LB/safety, I don't see the problem. I like the aggressiveness of the scheme. And it seems pretty short-sighted to base the potential effectiveness of the scheme on this year. I also think it's a myth for people to think that Bronco's had three years now to recruit the players for his scheme. He hasn't - Crowton was in charge of who was recruited and offered, and he had limited scholarships the past few years, and he focused on offense. We've done the 3-4, and we've done the 4-3. We still had crappy defenses then. I'm willing to be patient for a few years. After all, we're only a couple of years removed from a top-15 defense - with the 3-3-5.
