In the 4-3, the "4" means four down linemen. See what I mean?
In the 3-3-5, the first "3" means three down linemen.
The second number is always the number of linebackers and the third number is always the number of defensive backs.

I don't agree that a linebacker putting his hand on the ground changes him to a lineman.
Still a linebacker
