I was more interested in what we would be running vs who. I am pleased with the experience this guy has and that he has run the 3-3-5 defense. While the 3-3-5 may not be good for big 10 & SEC football, it would be good for mid majors and CUSA.

it will allow us to use our current talent better, and also fits the type of talent we are capable of getting in this area. Lots of athletic safety and lbs in Texas. Lots are tweeners too.

Some Lbs may convert to safety. Ellis and Marshall?

I mentioned in the other thread that he was running the 4-3 at USF, Maryland, and SC when he was coordinator.

He ran 3-3-5 at SC, then they switched to 4-3 in 2003, his final year. I can understand the switch being in the SEC...USF he lasted only one year running the 4-3. Then he moved on to buffalo, who runs the 3-3-5. Kstate, where he had most of his success was 3-3-5.

Based on his success, our conference, and our personell, I would predict 3-3-5.

Well we could both be right. Looking at a few games (broadcasts on youtube) of KState in 2010 and 2011 vs Texas, KU, Iowa State, and A&M, they are clearly in 4-3.

I guess we'll find out.

Need a huge NT to run a 3-3-5. Unless there is a surprise be the end of the day, we don't have that on this roster.

Not really. This isnt the NFL.

Looking at teams that run 3-3-5 & 3-4...

I like the concept of a 3-3-5. That strong safety/linebacker hybrid is interesting. Would love to see both Ellis and Marshall on the field at the same time. That's a lot of speed. You could run some exotic blitz schemes with that too. Which, in my opinion Skladany didn't do enough.

Not saying these are NT's, but size isn't an issue based on the sizes of other NT's listed:

70 Sir Calvin Wallace DT 6-2 296 RS SO Tyler, TX Chapel Hill HS 91 Austin Orr DT 6-4 277 JR Seabrook, TX Clear Lake HS 59 Joe Kaho DT 5-10 253 JR Watauga, TX Central HS 95 Alexander Lincoln DT 6-2 275 SR Cibolo, TX Steele HS 15 T.J. Tauaalo DT 6-2 288 FR Keller, TX Central HS 98 Dutton Watson DT 6-3 283 RS SO Midland, TX Midland HS 94 Mustafa Haboul DT 6-0 267 RS SO Arlington, TX Martin HS

No, size isn't the biggest factor but it doesn't hurt either.

More than anything you need someone with SOME size that has speed and agility to draw a double team and most importantly, a NASTY disposition.

The only dude we currently have on our roster that I've seen with that skill set is Sid Moore. He's got decent size, he has a motor that goes pretty good and he don't like nobody across from him.

Arizona runs a 3-3 with 288 lb NT, backed up by an even smaller guy, 247 lbs. The other DT is 277.

Not saying this is what we should do, just saying there may be ways around the old axiom about the big guy in the middle.

What do you mean "other DT"? There is no other DT beside the NT in a 3-3-5 (or a 3-4, for that matter).

Size is one thing, but if the guy has good/passable size and great speed and technique, that's even better. A lot of people put emphasis on raw size, but forget none of that is worth anything if that player isn't mobile, disciplined, and well-trained.

Sid was about 255 last year.

Not a nose.

Our LBs will also need to be bigger without losing any speed.

Fred Scott has enough size. Anthony Wallace. Too much size. They need to lose a few so they can get quicker.

The other LBs are small. Thats why im hoping for a 3-3-5 stack defense where there's 3 safeties.

Agree Rick. Sid is a keeper! People forget he was just a freshman.

Sid was my player this year and he played great for a redshirt freshmen. Where ever he lines up, I hope he continues to improve. I expect him to be All-Conference his junior and senior year.

And I'd love for him to put on 40lbs of muscle in the offseason.

But that isn't a given, and we shouldn't pretend like it is.

Replying to MeanGreen 93-98: Arizona 2 deep shows the position descriptions as NT, DT, DE. It is my understanding that is normal for a 3-3.

Huh . . . no, I've never heard that before. With 3 down linemen, one of those ends is typically DT-sized, but if you're on the end . . . you're an end.

Nice to see untgeorge posting again.

For you new fans and alumns who may not know, along with GrayEagle and a couple of others, this guy is one of our most respected senior posters we have here. When it comes to Mean Green athletics, he's seen it all,...and then some. We're fortunate to have him.

      Auburn warns of potential ticket price hike ahead of revenue-sharing model

      There are probably 10 levels of donors and fans for a college athletic program. Anyone from a 70-year-alum always a supporter, to businessman only for advertising, to mom & dad only while son is going there, to corporate CEO wanting a name on a building, to t-shirt fans who just like the Flying Worm, etc. At P4 schools when the AD says they need cash, usually someone Big or a lot of smaller someones steps up. At our level I think it's more difficult to predict the donors and level of donations. I think it's also more difficult to find donors willing to give blindly to a non-specific NIL fund than to a specific building fund.

      Two more home games before students are back, then hopefully the athletic department is going all out to try to compete with last year's record-breaking numbers.

      Auburn warns of potential ticket price hike ahead of revenue-sharing model

      In traditional professional football, when teams pay players and have a losing season, the teams still make $$$ and turn a profit. Thus they can afford to continue to pay players. In today’s college football, when boosters pay players NIL and the team has a losing season, the boosters lose money AND they don’t get to experience the joy of being associated with a winner. Will those boosters keep donating NIL? Do you have to find new boosters? Don’t you eventually run out of boosters? Just don’t see how this NIL model is sustainable. Rich people didn’t get rich by losing money and I don’t see how you can keep asking them to do that via NIL. The revenue sharing model WILL work and it will be interesting to see what percentage of revenue is ultimately allocated to labor. The NBA gives 51% of gross revenue to players. The other major professional leagues give less. But why would colleges give players anything close to that? College players are infinitely replaceable. People root for their school and as a consequence of that, root for the players competing for that school. But if the Top 100 players in college football disappeared overnight, would the popularity of the sport suffer at all? I don’t think it would. Offer the players minimum wage, make them sign binding contracts with buyouts and non-competes (assuming you can still enforce those: that is another rabbit hole). NIL will still exist but won’t be as big of a deal because of the contracts and buyouts. If a players thinks he is too good for this system, they can start their own football league or wait until they are eligible for the NFL. Why wouldn’t this work?

      I don’t know how much they care. It’s like monopoly money. Many of them are just borrowing from Uncle Sam and hoping they don’t have to pay it back.
