Message: [QUOTE="HRE Otto IV, post: 5485984, member: 5685"] IMO playing a system that requires 3 true Ss is doomed to failure at a school like SU. Two Ss and a hybrid S/LB can work but not 3 Ss. We won't be able to pull in enough talent to fill those 3 IMO. Also only having 2 LBs makes no sense to me. I think the 3-3-5 with a good DC can work, but those DCs are hard to find. I think a 3-4 would work, but no one really plays that anymore. Or even an Okiesque 5-2/3-4 would be ideal, but again no one runs it. So I think we are best off going with an aggressive 4-3 that is Shafer/Schiano like. That type of D will overwhelm lessor competition. And vs decent to good teams it will be hit or miss. But that is fine since we will never have the talent to be good game in and game out. [/QUOTE]
