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.
Base 3-4
The base 3-4 defense utilizes bigger DL to eat up blockers, allowing four LBs to attack from multiple angles. The 3-4 excels at generating pressure with clever blitzes and is a solid defense against running plays.
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.
