LEDGECompatible 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.
4-3 Quarters
Quarters, also known as Cover 4, is a scheme that puts four defenders deep, but allows for opportunities to split the field in man and zone coverage. As such, 4-3 Quarters is a good match against versatile offenses like Spreads.
46 Defense
The 46 Defense features 8 players in the box, and a weak side defensive line shift. Designed to confuse blocking assignments and bring heavy blitzes to outman and overwhelm offenses.
