you're dead wrong trying to pin this on scheme. the real issue has been a complete talent vacuum that no scheme could fix. we've been playing with fcs-level personnel for years, and you can't install an aggressive system when your guys get physically whipped on every snap. the portaal numbers are absolutely the core issue because we're finally getting power 5 bodies in the room. last year's defensive stats are a reflection of the roster, not the playbook. you bring up the 3-3-5 being passive, but when your linebackers can't shed a block and your corners can't press, you have to play soft just to survive. the spring game showed new pieces still learning the system, not a condemnation of the scheme itself. look at the defensive coordinator's history at other stops, his units have been attacking and created havoc. he hasn't had the players to execute it here. now, with legit sec and big ten transfers coming in, you'll see the dial turn. the narrative is shifting because the quality of portal additions is skyrocketing. these new croots have the size and speed to play the style you're asking for. once they get through fall camp and the playbook expands, you'll see a completely different unit. calling for a wholesale scheme change now, right as we finally get the athletes, is how you stay in the basement. consistency in system matters, and the foundation is finally being poured with real cement, not sand. just wait until week one, the jump will be obvious.
