Message: [QUOTE="Xanadu, post: 4133577, member: 4884"] This, I wish we could pin this for all discussions involving the DL. The 3-3-5 is all about speed, chaos, and misdirection pre-snap. You make up for size with quickness and a competent rotation deep enough to keep your line fresh through 4th Quarter. You're looking for serious athletes, regardless of size, who can either play situationally (think the true frosh as EDGE rushers on 3rd and medium to long) and players that have the size and speed to play all three spots. Most 3-3-5 DLs are going to be running 8-9 deep most games. The true freshmen and Hernandez (if he comes) will be big contributors on that rotation next year. This is exactly the type of one year flyer we need to be taking; mature body with a lot of game experience to help anchor a young unit. [/QUOTE]
