Message: [QUOTE="reedny, post: 3290379, member: 1423"] I'm still figuring out the 335 but it seems like, even with undersized personnel in the front 6, the stunting and unpredictability might help us avoid blowouts against speed/RPO teams like Maryland (63 pts) and LV (56 pts). The concern is power running teams like BC (58 pts and 500 yards rushing). We ran the 4-3 the last two years, but were undersized and overmatched this past year without Slayton. Sack totals went down significantly (30 in 2019 versus 43 in 2018) and opponent's rushing average went from 4.3 (162 yards per game) to 4.9 (201 yards per game). I'm optimistic about the 335, but we'll be even smaller up front without Ruff. We don't have anyone close to Slayton's ability or size. That could put a lot of pressure on our LB's and safeties again ... which hurt us this past year. So my hope is we can bring in more size for the DL interior. [/QUOTE]
