4-3 v.s. 3-4

One of the biggest debates in football conversations everywhere is Whats a better defense 4-3 or 3-4? Both defenses have it’s advantages but only one can produce an uneven match up…..
The 4-3 allows you to occupy 4 OL with 2 DL….. In the 4-3 scheme the DTs must at least draw 1 double team if not 2….. With that the LBs can run free without interference of OL….. If you happen to have an athelete at MLB, that can run tackle to tackle, the 4-3 will bend but never break…..
Now with the 3-4 it’s more like a confusion philosophy…. Don’t show where the jail break is coming from….. For OL it is difficult to scan the line of scrimmage and determine where the pressure is coming from….. Advantage defense…. With LBs that are agressive and are ok in tackling….. You can send different looks towards the opponents offense….. If a 3-4 blitz package was picked up by the offense….. The 3-4 would definitely break…. 3-4 is all about timing and overload….. Creating pressure is the mindset of a well coached defense….. If the timing or the overload is miscalculated….. The offense is gone in the other direction…. Plus your asking a lot from the nose guard to defend the 2 “A” graps….. Brown of the Packers, from their Superbowl years in the 90′s, was a great prototype of a dominant noseguard…..

“To me, I like the 4-3 because of the constant pressure” says coach Moody of the youth Buccaneers…. It allows pressure all the time

” I say the 3-4 because of the ability to cover the outside and pass to then come up and support the run” says E, a former Dragon cornerback ’98….. “So you can retreat to refortify to have the ability to come back with a stronger defense” implies E….. The element of surprise is what’s important…..but it has to be timed right….

Still my belief is the 4-3 because of the double team potential….. Eliminating more with less is my formula for success
