If not mistaken, he has taken time off in the summers before.

Awww, shucks......a thread dedicated to 'lil 'ol me!
Just had other things going on....other places to focus my attention. And with the summer dead period......
On the bright side, I now have a whole new, much deeper understanding of the 3-3-5 scheme (or at least a version of it). Gonna love seeing what Rocky does with it now that I have a clue what he's trying to do with it strategy and scheme wise. And the more I learn about it, the more I really, REALLY like it! ;D
Gonna be a BUSY football season! Appreciate the concern, though.

OK, you alluded to it, or using the word of the day, there was an allusion that you learned more about the 3-3-5. Care to share what you did to learn more? Coaching perhaps or a clinic? Seems interesting!

This ain't your dad's defensive scheme, either. It's reasonably easy to understand once you dig into it, but it can look chaotic in action, which is the point. The playbook is almost as thick as some offensive books, and there are SOOOO many different movements and blitzes and combinations. And really, the blitzes are mostly designed to stop the run. Different fronts, different angles, different blitz combinations, different ways to attack an offense--and it's all based on attacking principles, which I like. I was at a clinic a while back where Kevin McGarry talked about how much they require the linebackers to know, how smart they need to be. I now understand what he was talking about. An offense has to be VERY disciplined in their assignments--especially up front--and it can be very problematic if they're not used to seeing it. FANTASTIC preparation for an offense that is used to seeing it.

Welcome back, NTU. Your allusion to the 3-3-5 has piqued my interest. If you wouldn't mind answering (and if it won't compromise your identity or whatever), I have a couple questions. As you know, I'm not the biggest fan of this kind of defense. Part of it stems from my belief that if there's too wide a variety of material, students will learn little of the curriculum thoroughly. With that in mind, here are my questions: 1. You say that the playbook is as big as the offensive playbook. Do you find that liberating or overwhelming? 2. Is the 3-3-5 (and variations thereof) more suitable for smaller players and if not, why do you think more winning BCS programs don't use it? 1) Actually, it's kind of liberating. Like I said, once you dig into it it's not all that tough to understand, and it doesn't take that long to get a grasp of your particular assignments. The play calls are movements (blitzes, stunts, etc) and coverage. Some kids might be overwhelmed at first, but it doesn't take long for them to get it. 2) It's geared toward smaller and quicker athletes. As you know, big, athletic linemen (especially nose guards) are tough to come by. This mitigates that a bit. It's based primarily on quickness, speed, being technically sound, and swarming to the football. And yes, you do need a smarter group of athletes to run it because there are a bunch of reads they have to make pre-snap and at the snap. 3) The bigger BCS programs base their systems on the premise of having their pick of the litter of whatever athletic big men they want. Size and strength (bulk, really) to control the LOS. I think the 3-3-5 is a system that would work well at a place like Oregon because the speed/quickness type of guys are the kind of athletes they recruit anyway. And you can kind of see some of the principles being used at the NFL level on a situational basis. But the bigger programs rely on the more traditional style. I think it could work at a place like Texas or LSU or Florida. But it's an unfamiliar style and system, so those coaches tend to stick with what they know. Coaches are typically afraid of the unfamiliar. Kind of stodgy like that. There's also the fear of being overpowered by a good power run game. But you can package out players in goalline and short yardage situations. The bigger schools would have to recruit to it. Academics do come into play, too, because you are asking more from them intellectually.

I think I needed a break from the, shall we say, inanity of certain posters. I can empathize. I've taken a month or two off on several occasions for the same reason. Glad to hear you're doing fine.
