If so, how did it workout for you? What other defense did you run as your primary defense? When did you use it in the game? Thanks in advance.

Who in their right mind is going to have one down lineman? Where did you ever hear of such a thing? Coach Easton-TIGER ONE

Joe Lee Dunn has done more with less then alot of people. He ran a 2-6-3 in one bowl game that looked an Awful lot like a spilt 4 or split 6 but I have never seen a 1-5-5. He is a big 3-3-5 guru and went to the 2-6-3 due to injuries.

I saw the new england patriots use it before. It's just a wrinkle to throw in on an obvious passing down. The one lineman is the nose with the 5 LB's using movement before the snap(close to the line showing blitz etc). It seemed like they just wanted to get a better passrush with speed to beat the lineman and they could also overload/attack in various ways. simply giving the QB something different to look at causing him to use more time, make a mistake or at the very least bring up 4th down. As well as confusion for the OL. I don't think any DC in their right mind would use it on a consistent basis though.

And who ever thought the 3 man front would be in vogue. How about a 2-5-4 as a base or maybe a 1-6-4? Do those equal eleven? My math is a little foggy right now.

Has anyone ever heard of a 0-11 or the Silver Streak. We were playing in the sectional championship one year and we came out for our first play from scrimmage and all eleven defensive players were lined up 5 yards off the ball. Just prior to the snap all eleven charged and way layed our entire offensive line and anyone else they could hit. We were on the road and they drew a 5 yard off side penalty.

They did manage to piss us off and we went on to beat them 35-0.

How about a 1-11 and stand the manager on the side line as a lonesome polecat.
