Compatible Schemes
This archetype is used in the following schemes:
3-4 Storm
Speed up front and coverage in the middle, the 3-4 Storm defense is geared towards applying pressure to the quarterback as quickly as possible and having linebackers ready to capitalize on any passing errors.
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.
Base 4-3
The 4-3 defensive scheme is a defensive formation with 4 defensive linemen and 3 linebackers, ideal for generating a pass rush with minimal blitzing, allowing for 7 defenders to drop into coverage.
Tampa 2
The Tampa 2 formation is similar to the base 4-3, as the defensive line is expected to pressure the QB without help from blitzes. The Tampa 2 is a unique for often having the MLB responsible for covering the deep middle.
