having three down linemen, and the linebackers taking a step back every play. They destroyed us on the ground that game, their RB went 3 yards before any contact.
A 3-5 means the linemen take up blocks and the linebackers make plays. Instead, linemen took up blocks and left lanes for the RB to go through, which the LBs didn't fill.
But it held down their (admittedly bad) passing game, which is what the defense wanted to do I guess.
No wonder Kaufusi left. It's a bad scheme.
If you want, you can th'down this post for trying to hijack your thread and I have no hard feelings.
