Compatible Schemes
This archetype is used in the following schemes:
3-4 Under
The 3-4 Under adds even more flexibility with linebackers that can line up on the defensive line. Using bigger linebackers, the defense looks to switch the roles play to play to keep the offense off balance.
Disguise 3-4
As offensive production is at an all-time high, defenses need to be unpredictable to succeed. This defense draws strength from the flexibility of its symmetrical lineup, and it shines with disguise concepts and malleable fronts.
