[QUOTE="jgtengineer, post: 896457, member: 3094"] Defense is far harder to recruit for than offense truthfully. What Johnsons style of offense allowed us to do was cut down on the hardest position to recruit in college football (Tackles and Tight ends). Take advantage of the mobile QB being what was needed. And simplified our need son taht side of the ball. Also DT's and our Tackles shared skillsets in common (ripping to the second level etc). I always thought we were attempting to run the wrong defenses under johnson. A 3-3-5 stack blitizing defense with a 2-3-6 Dime might have worked better for us. That scheme doesn't require a 2 gap DL as its predicated on blitzing atleast two of the backers for run fits and using a rover back SS. Woody's scheme was a 3-4 version of it but truthfully I think we didn't really have the DL for the 3-4 version that still relies on a 2 gap nose. We also flirted with parts of the 3-3-5 scheme under wommack as a nickle package. Rich Rodriguez's west virginia teams were amazing at runnin the 3-3-5 stack concepts I just wish we could have tried it for a bit while Johnson was the head coach. It is a bit of a leaky defense where if they offense catches you in the wrong stunt you are going to give up a big play. But when paired with a ball control suffocating offense the havoc created and turnovers are worth the risk imo. Johnson as a coach seemed to prefer ODD fronted defenses everywhere he was. [/QUOTE]
