The linebackers -- as with any scheme -- need to be sure tacklers. With only 3 down linemen, the defense is susceptible to being gashed up the middle. If the linebackers miss a tackle, a 4 yard gain can quickly turn into a long run.(WVU biggest problem last year was they couldn't tackle)The 3-3-5 relies on versatility to match up against any formation. From the base, almost any defense can be run. If the power running game is hurting you, drop a LB down onto the DL for a 40 look.Not much change among the DBs besides alignment/coverage disguises with the Spurs. In a normal Cover 3 call, the CBs will be inside leverage on the #1 WR and the safety will be 11 yards off the ball with his alignment depending on the hash, strength, and WR set.The 33 Stack has an adjustment for every formation that does not require a personnel substitution. Now it should be noted that every Defensive Coordinator in a 33 scheme will also have a substitution ready where a DL will come into the game and one LB will come out. Exactly how it sounds, the DL and LBs stand up and move all over the line of scrimmage before blowing up a gap on the snap. What they give up in size and technique there, the deception and confusion make up for that. By having your best 11 athletes on the field, the versatility to match any offense is always there.Deception and pressure. With this defense, pressure can come from anywhere at anytime. Therefore, pre-snap movement is essential. You will see the defensive line shifting across the line of scrimmage, linebackers prowling in the gaps, Spurs stemming to the edges or even starting out lined up with the safety before crashing down to their normal alignment. All of this disrupts the Quarterback's pre-snap reads for coverage and causes havoc among the offensive line calls.To go against the 3-3-5 just read the end and the LB. If they go after the RB then keep the ball if they come straight at you give it to the RB.Passing the ball just look for the seems. They will be there. If your going against man just watch the safety in the coverage.If the safety is coming forward throw over him. If he is playing zone them throw under him.It all sounds easy but execution is the hard part.</blockquote>
