3-3-5 and are we wasting burns?

I mean, it's still a lot better than it was last year. Sadly enough.

Better, sure. A lot better, not so sure...

I would guess in a 3-3-5 Burns is basically a Dlineman that stands up labeled as a LBer, moves around to favorable matchups and shouldn't be covering poo unless the DC is trying to get unnecessarily cute. The question there is who are the 3 upfront? I wouldn't mind building it but to expect bodies to fill spots based on pure theory makes me look to last year and doubt we could pull it off without a full 2 seasons to build it right. 

From what I've seen, it's been Short/Kerr - Brown/Roy - Weatherly/Yetur/Obada with Burns/Haynes & Chinn as the OLBs

IMO  I know the coaches know better, but I'd prefer that the team would run the 4-2-5 defense

DL: Burns, Brown, Short, Gross-Matos (Haynes)option

LB: Thompson & Whitehead

CB: Jackson & Douglas

S: Boston, Chinn, Burris

As long as Whitehead is out there I'm not sure we are getting the best or most out of out from 7.

3-3-5  will not work in the NFL teams will just run all over you. Could not believe when i seen that on 1st downs and guess what they ran right at it.

I have no idea why a coach would come in with a NFL record setting horrid run defense we had last year and make it harder for them.

I think Rhule is coming in too hot without the tools to back him up. This line has trouble stopping the run in a 4-3. Might want to let them actually accomplish that before making it even harder for them.

I can see what Rhule and Brady are trying to do, I really can. But it is very clear they will have to build a team for it and have very few pieces right now to make it work (if it will work).

Unfortunately for us fans that means a couple years of looking like poo.

I dont mind the look of 3-3-5, just maybe burns shouldnt be out there during it.(unless it super long distance and hes in the 3 down lineman)

Yea, Shaq has typically been the mike but I thought I saw Chinn as the mike on a few plays as well

[catnip]

with Short out Brown gets double teamed on most plays .  This hurts our rush defense .

[TrevorLaurenceTime22]

At this point with Short as a high chance cut in the offseason am I the only one who thinks we are far closer to having 3-4 personnel than 4-3 or this 3-3-5 crap? Snow is the only one on our coaching staff who I do not see as capable.

That means taking your best pass rusher off the field...

With Chinn it's possible. That guy is fun. Not sure about him lining up at the mike spot.

So someone else can grab water off the side-line during the play, he takes going wide to a whole other level. Snow needs to figure this out truly, 0 sacks though 2 games with burns is not getting it done. I did see Rhule and Snow have a hard talk on the side-lines during the game.

Any time Burns isn't pursuing the QB he's being wasted. He should be pursuing the QB until the ball leaves the QB hands.

[Basbear]

Burns on the steelers and he may break the NFL sack record in a few seasons.
