I heard that too, but he's contradicting himself a little bit. He's previously described the 3-3-5 as a "bear trap" where the scheme invites you to run to it can crash down on you with safeties. He says that's how TCU shut down the run for us last season. I'm sure there's nuance that I don't appreciate, but it seems like the 3-3-5 has the personnel of a pass defense with the concepts and assignments of a run defense. All of that depends on having aggressive DBs, especially safeties, who like to play downhill. 

I don't have an answer to how we consistently beat the 3-3-5, but for me the real question is - does Baylor have the personnel to effectively run that defense? Do they have safeties who can stop the run? If not, then running the ball seems like the answer. If they have the personnel, then who knows. Throw it to Worthy in the flat and let him be the fastest guy. 

Here is a video that explains how it works and how to attack it. Skip all the coach stuff.

It's a hard defense to poke holes in. Requires you to be patient, precise and not get behind the chains. If it was easy scheme to plan for then it wouldn't be spreading like it is and teams wouldn't keep copying it. And as I mentioned earlier it renders a lot of the window dressing and presnap motions moot because it doesn't change the defensive assignments or put them in conflict. 

Riley had major issues against the defense too. NFL teams are starting to copy it.

  I hate that we just started calling this defense a Tampa 2. Tampa the MB runs with anything up the seam but starts with a cover 2 look. The flyover has a safety already dedicated to that 3rd. I don't know why it bothers me so much but it does.

The offensive lines in 2007 and 2009 really struggled and that is reflected in those stats.
I don't know what happened in 2008 but for one season that group could pass protect at a high level. Still couldn't block for crap in the run game, but they could pass protect. 
One of the things that amazed me during post-2005 Mack Brown is that the offensive line was perennially one of the weak links (and in 2009 THE weak link) on the team and he rarely even talked about it much less did anything about it. 

Banks will (hopefully) end a 20-year drought of 1st round talent on the line year after next. For some reason he needs to school.

Mackovic was probably first recruiting the last 1st round talent drafted (Mike Williams) before he signed w Mack.

Bijan ended a 17-fucking-year drought on the offensive side. Jesus, we’ve been wandering the wilderness. Blame falls squarely on Mack Brown to squander momentum.

And right before that drop, they showed this stat:

Assuming they didn't count the Cook drop when that graphic showed then QE is 54/79 for 68% (almost nice) completion percentage and ranked 30th in the country instead of in the 70s.

It bothers me a ton as well. It’s not the same defense at all.

This game is what we all kinda dreamed of with Ewers and Sark. He was efficient, not asked to do too much, and had plenty of explosive plays. He got the ball out on time and on target.

When this offense is in rhythm, it's the scariest in college football.

So Ewers’ best games by far have all been away from DKR. Not recalling a particularly great game from him at home?

Maybe coincidence? Or maybe something in the “focusness” factor starting the day prior to the game where he feeds off of the road game structure?

Ready to see Good Quinn at DKR!

He was great for one quarter against Alabama in Austin last season.

To me it's the scariest when it's not in rhythm.

Quinn's passing efficiency rating is currently 168.3, which is just behind colt's 2008 rating (173.8) and ahead of Colt's rating the other three seasons he was on the 40 acres (161.8/139.2/147.4).

Great, he's gonna get flattened by a LB while asking "excuse me sir, do you have a moment to talk about our lord and saviour?"

He should starts next year. Let Arch develop into an absolute monster.

Manning will start next year. Arch for 2 years is the most optimal outcome for all. MM will look good somewhere else though.

Ewers can believe whatever he wants as far as I’m concerned, as long as that includes believing that OU sucks and that everyone on the schedule needs a good ass kicking. 

Pretty sure that's in the Nicene Creed, Unabridged Southwest Version?

  Quinn's marketing guy told him that he could raise his sponsor earning 150% if he cut his hair and talked about God.
