No you just have 3 down lineman with a RB in the backfield. Seen it used in high school a bunch. Been used in college on rare occasions. The inside receivers can't catch a pass on either side, but the outside 2 can.Quote:

Well, I don't see how we do any worse blocking 3 DL with 3 OL than we currently do blocking 3 DL with 5 OL. If you had 2 additional players out in pass patterns maybe we could find someone to throw to more quickly.Quote:

But you would be able to use them to block and that could create issues for a drop 8 scheme.
