BeaverHokie 35 Report Share Posted August 26, 2007 When I was listening to the radio broadcast, the two guys said that Bluefield was running a 3-5 defense, with 3 down linemen and 5 linebackers. I'm thinking it was probably a 5-3, with stand-up defensive ends. Can anyone familiar offer any insight? If it was a 5-3, was this case-specific for the Graham game? Any idea...will they only have 3 defensive backs back there for every game, or was it due to the run-oriented attack of Graham? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would imagine that the defensive scheme will change depending on the opponent and the type of offense they run. Regardless, I would imagine that you'll see many of the same players b/c many are interchangeable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MavsRock 21 Report Share Posted August 27, 2007 I wasn't at that game, but Bluefield runs 3 down lineman alot, especially for high school. With their speed, it gives them several blitzing options. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FOOTBALLMAN 10 Report Share Posted August 27, 2007 its wvu defense basiclya 3-3-5 what makes it look like a 3-5 is what freddy uses for what normaly would be outside backers is what u could call a tweener i guess a corner slash linebacker.. someone with decent speed to cover but can come up to hit or defend the run Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FOOTBALLMAN 10 Report Share Posted August 30, 2007 trust me its a 3-3-5 just like wvu trust me either play ncaa 2008 or just watch a game u will see what im sayin is normaly u wouldn't try to cover slots with outside linebackers but when u have guys that cover and blitz example whicks(wvu) u don't need to run a 3-4 and it makes being the d- coordinator all the more merrier cause its easier to mix things up and disgusie blitzes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
