Speaking of the 5-3 defense....Don't know if you're old enough to remember, but when George Allen was coach here he deployed the defense in a playoff game against the Packers in an atempt to combat their strong running game that consisted of two runners, John Brockington and McArthur Lane. It worked superbly, on that day the Packers running game was completely shut down.
