3-4 PHILOSOPHY

• Unique Scheme can cause offensive confusion
• Find and Recruit Less Defensive Linemen
• Ability to put best players on the field (LBs)
• Multiple/Disguise slant to/ stem to/ movements
  to different fronts
• Nose guard increases pressure on center
• O-Line must face a D-Line that will 2-gap,
  shade,slant, or run games
• Creates pass rush mismatches (olbs on
  backs,guards,tackles)
• Offense has to account for 7 potential immediate
  rushers (five of them on the L.O.S.)
• Zone Pressure Package easier because LBs can
  replace pass zones rather than defensive linemen
• System- Can change the scheme and players are not
  phased by it
• Balanced Can mirror offensive formations
