What defense will we run this season?

[mthoopsfan]

I’d rather be in a 3rd and 5 situation and get off the field by forcing a punt than get a couple sacks to get to a 3rd and 20 situation and then proceed to allow an 85 yard TD to put the game on ice. Thats just me though. That play by the way wasn’t the only time that the defense had opponents in a 3rd and forever only to give up a loooooooong completion to move the chains.

And none of those things had anything to do with the 3-3-5.

There were probably 2 sacks that led to 3 and 20. The 3-3-5 thrives on creating chaos that often leads to more sacks compared to other defensive alignments.

Or a couple of false starts. The 3-3-5 also creates more of them.
