Back when I did my Offensive formation with Felix and Barber in a joint backfield I was asked by Rampage to do one of these threads for the Defensive 3-3-5 formation.
I worked on it then forgot about it.
If anyone who has played Defense has a better insight into this formation by all means please chime in.
Notice right away that in any 5 DBs situation I am going to move Newman into the slot and Scandrick out to LCB. This is why I think Jenkins will start at RCB over Scandrick. Who starts is of little consequence to me, both will play a vital role.
Rampage also asked who will take Ellis place in the Cowboy package of this formation. I think it will be Spencer. I considered Brooking because of hsi time in the NFL and coverage skills. I considered Carpenter because he is taking Burnett's role as coverage LB supposedly. I even considered the rookies. Ultimately the comments of Eagles TE Brent Celek lead me to believe it will be Spencer.
This will look a little odd because there is a true FS playing Center field and the SS will play almost a LB position in appearance.

Bradie James' first read is the RB.
Ken Hamlin's first read is motion by any of the WRs, TE, or RB.
Sensabaugh's first read is the TE, 2nd read is the RB.
I would expect the QB to be in a 3 or 5 step drop, not a 7 step drop even though potentially one WR can go deep. I don't think many teams will utilize a 7 step drop against us this year given Ware's emergence and the premier pass rusher in the NFL. This means Ware will line up wider than the LT on most situation to give him a sharper angle to come at the QB. Spencer will probably gap shoot the TE if he stays put and hope that hatcher or Spears (I think Hatcher in passing situations) can draw the RT into a double team.
A big time Key to this Defensive package is Igor Olshansky. If the Offense is going to try and inside run it is likely with the TE on a pull and lead into the 3 hole where Olshansky needs to hold his ground and close the hole or take out the TE so Bradie James is free to make the tackle.
The key to success from a package such as this is twofold. Pressure on the QB in passing situations and tight man coverage by the CBs. If the Offense chooses to run the ball Bradie and Sensabaugh have to pick that read up quickly.
One pitfall to watch for, a draw play to suck Sensabaugh in then drop the TE behind him in the flat. Hamlin has to read this right awya and cannot double team any of the WR options if the SS reads run and commits.
Enjoy.
