The most blaring improvement was in tackling. And defense starts with tackling. Now we need to teach our young undersized D line to get off of blocks. Use speed to your advantage. Unless Broadway has a rabbit to pull out of his hat, I don't think you're gonna find any big bodies with walk on's. Maybe Someone knows of a Juco player that we can convince to come here. I agree that tacking and other skills where obviously better and this is what Broadways Spring Camp has been about, improving skills, discipline and knowledge from a position level of each player. Broadway is also showing a better understanding of how to use the talent that you have by switching his defense to a 3-5-3 which supports his undersized defensive line with linebackers who can run and hit as well as flooding the passing lanes, SMART strategically smart!

last years roster listed 86 totals players. Here are the Lineman from that roster. No seniors. How big should these lineman be? I thought 270-280 was decent for a DL.
47 Cates, Cameron DE 6-0 245 So. High Point, N.C. (Andrews) 99 Neal, Chris DE 6-1 230 So. Greensboro, N.C. (Dudley) 90 Young, Brandon DE 6-2 242 RSo. Louisville, Ky. (Dupont Manual Magnet) 91 Hill, Edward DE/LB 6-2 220 So. Conyers, Ga. (Salem) 92 Gorrell, Danye DL 6-3 285 Fr. Reidsville, N.C. (Reidsville) 94 Hamlet, Derrius DL 6-3 265 Fr. Winnsboro, S.C. (Fairfield Central) 49 Hearn, Tyree DL 6-2 215 Fr. Durham, N.C. (Riverside) 98 Isles, Nathan DL 6-5 285 Fr. Atlanta, Ga. (Westlake) 96 Johnson, Monte DL 6-1 290 Fr. Garner, N.C. (West Johnston) 95 McMurray, Taylor DL 6-1 285 RFr. Jacksonville, N.C. (Jacksonville) 97 Nickelson, Koron DL 6-2 240 Jr. Mount Olive, N.C. (Southern Wayne)

Isles is back on the o-line were he belongs. Either Hamlet or McMurray was sitting out of spring practic due to a shoulder injury. I think a few people on the list were held out to concentrate on grades. And I bet 3 0r 4 of these guys are gone.
Take Isles out of the equation and the average weight is 251. That want cut it by any means.

I agree the 3-5-3 defense is a great defense that fits our personnel. It utilizes blitzing from multiple areas, is single gap based, and great vs. spread teams.

Didn't Fobbs try that defense?

Yeah, and it sucked.
We couldn't stop the run or the pass or generate any semblance of a pass rush.
We'll see how it works this time around. At least the coaches are more experienced than the Fobbs regime.

At least the coaches are more experienced than the Fobbs regime. It is not a great defense against power running teams because it is usually a defense that is small and depends on blitzing. We have the guys in my opinion that are suited for this type defense. Also, another advantage is that it is not a defense that a lot of teams run so it is harder for teams to plan and use a scout defense.

But with that said, I expect our run D to be a weak point of our D this season. BUT, it seems if we can just get consistantly decent QB play, we can possibly make some teams in the conference play from behind and play to our defensive strength (pass defense).

I saw Cameron Cates last night and he indicated that he was considering on transferring.

Problem with the def is that in a 3 -5-3 is there is always an open hole. Any decent RB should pick up 2 to 3 yards per carry by just following the Ol through the gap. It allows the of lineman to get ahead of steam to block a linebacker through the gaps. .Its brutal on your linebackers but we have a ton of line backers to rotate in and out.
The advantage is if you lb's are quick enough you can get alot plays for a loss behind the line of scrimmage. Its still the best option for what he is working with.

Just run up the gut and play-action after we get lulled to sleep.
It's incredibly easy to game plan for. But I realize we don't have a lot of options here.

i thought it was a 3-4 defense instead of a 3-5. a 3-5 only leaves 2 corners and one safety in the secondary. are ya'll sure its a 3-5?

The defense involves using different fronts, stunts, and blitzing from various angles. So, it is very dependent on pressure and making plays behind the line of scrimmage. I woud have to disagree about it being easy to plan for because of the various various stunts, fronts, and angles everyone will be taking. The key with defense is it keeps the OL guessing in regards to where the pressure is coming from thus it give the defense a split second hopefully to get into the backfield or make plays at the line. It is often a high risk/high reward defense.

In other words it doesn't only leave 2 corners and 1 safety because the "Dogs" or OLB/SS types often roll into secondary coverage. It your DB's are based on the coverage you are running.

Every defense has holes. the 335 is great if you have a bunch of athletes that can run and are aggressive even when not in a stunt or a blitz it puts pressure on an ol because sombody on the end is uncovered. A NT that causes problems for a center is the key whether in a 34 or a 33. If he can be blocked with one man then it dont matter what the stunt blitz is it dont work.
