Attacking a 3-5-3 Defense

What offense you running? As far as I have been taught by the OC here you want to attack 3-5-3 teams with trips. Doing so forces that team to have to move a backer out which breaks up their stack. But I am still learning at this program but when we have run trips that is what it seems to happen.

Thanks Coaches, I tried for a couple of hours to call Coach Mountjoy and with the time difference I had to call "no mas" on it. Our offense is like a spread but with much more versitility in it. I was looking at some of the 3-5 formation sets and my statement to the OC was that either quick pops to the recievers followed by the deep game and we could back them off a bit to try running at them. The game is tomorrow so I will let you all know how we did with our game planning this week. Thanks again for all of your help.

Thanks Coach,

Sorry I didn't call, I will this week to pick your brain a little.

On another note, we got pretty well destroyed this week 55-10. The problem as I see wasn't so much their defense as they ran a 4-3 with a blitzing LB every play, but the fact that we didn't execute on either side of the ball. Tackling was non-existent and the OL didn't give our QB any time to throw at all. So we are going back to the absolute basics with reguards to everything before this weekend. We have a short week as we travel on Friday to Germany then play on Saturday.

I noticed some glaring problems in the OL as far as stance and firing off the ball and then defense arm tackling were prevelant through-out the game. We did well and didn't let them score on their first drive down the field which hasn't ever happened to them, but then we fell apart.

So here is where we as coaches earn our money(so to speak). If there are any suggestions on how to combat this I'm open. Thanks again for all of your help.

Coach,

What would be a good time to call you today?
