We don't have nearly enough SIZE up front to play a solid 3-4

So I noticed it suggested here that we utilize a 5-2 defense on occasion during the coming season.  While I generally feel my sports knowledge adequate, I can’t say that I know the intricacies of implementing a 5-2 setup.  That being said, I am having some fun playing armchair DC / DL coach nonetheless. 

Given the Bulls’ position of strength (DE), what if we lined up two DTs and three DEs? The third of which could rush on some downs and drop back and cover the TE or receiver in the slot on others.  Selvie has the speed and ability to do this well. Meanwhile, it would keep the opposing QB and coaches on their toes.  Because of the scheme’s inherent unpredictability, they would have no idea when to expect to face a jailbreak rush of three speedy DEs.

It seems pretty unconventional and, thus, unlikely to come to fruition at USF.  But I think such a defensive setup could highlight our team’s strength without leaving us vulnerable.

What do y’all think?

    We've talked about getting back to being the toughest, most violent people out there. Let's be the best version of ourselves and really get back to the culture of how we (USF) used to step across the line and play anybody. Let's hold on to the culture of when they were tough … and they (opponents) knew it was going to be long damn day for themselves.
