Blocking Schemes for Attacking the 3-5-3

with Bert Williams,
Georgia Military College Head Coach,
2001 National Champions

If anyone knows how to beat the 3-5-3, it's Bert Williams. The 3-5-3 defense is extremely difficult to attack --- here are a few reasons:

• Teams cannot utilize the weak side run without using motion - makes their offense predictable.
• By having five linebackers/strong safeties on the field, your players are able to recover fast and make plays when offensive backs bounce outside.
• It is a rule breaker - causes coaches to make adjustments not familiar to players.
• It brings pressure from various places within the defense - keeps the offense guessing.
