Date: September 14th, 2026 2:29 AM Author: .....;;,,.........;.;.;.;.,;,;,;.;.;,; When defenses modernized to the point that a base 4-3 or 3-4 wasn’t the same defensive formation teams ran every down. It was always silly to refer to one of the 3 down lineman in a 3-4 as an “end” as there would basically always be a player outside of him with the actual responsibility to set the edge on the strong side and the down lineman’s responsibilities were what is logically described as a defensive tackle in all other contexts.

Date: September 15th, 2026 12:37 AM Author: .....;;,,.........;.;.;.;.,;,;,;.;.;,; Generally you’re conceding that the opponents offensive line can easily fire off at the snap of the ball and engage your defenders standing up with a head of steam and a leverage advantage, some already 2-3 yards past the line of scrimmage. So you’re effectively conceding a “stay ahead of the chains” level of run play success to your opponent and if they have athletic OL who can engage your stand up players and drive them you run a risk of allowing an explosive run play. But if it’s 3rd and long it’s much more logical to see only 2 down lineman and eg if you walk a safety up you can play games with your alignment and which players you send as rushers to confuse the opponent’s OL and QB re where the rush is coming from and which players are dropping to what spots in coverage. Somewhat of a junk defense move, but it’s workable especially if you generally expect to get a decent pressure rate when you rush 4 or you want to send an aggressive blitz and hope your back end players can stay attached long enough to cover and tackle to limit the chances of an explosive play.

Date: September 15th, 2026 3:09 PM Author: TurboGrafx-67 What if you had 2 hybrid DE/OLBs, and 2 hybrid MLB/SS and normal defensive roles for the rest
Could you have them fluidly shift between 2-5 and 5-2 at the line of scrimmage on every first and second down, with constant guys in motion in the back field to fuck with the OL and QB?
