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.
You still only have 5 people to catch the ball, but you free up 2 additional "potential" blockers on the outside to clog it up and give our guys some chances to get into space with wide blockers.

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.

Face palm. You cant send two additional players on patterns. That's illegal.

Correct. The interior wide player on either side would be ineligible. But you can still have 3 wide on either side and have only 3 down lineman.
It would basically be like taking each tackle and bunching it out wide. Ineligible, but split wide like WR to affect blocking.
But you would be able to use them to block and that could create issues for a drop 8 scheme.

Yea, I realize you have to keep 5 down lineman on the LOS, the post was really a flippant jovial response about only blocking with three so heck, just send everyone out. Even if you could do that obviously we aren't going to block with only three for our QB.
