Ocean Posted December 11, 2019 Share Posted December 11, 2019 In today's game I think running a quarters high match up zone is the way to go. The 4/3 gives you the luxury of going wide 9 and easily switching in nickel and dime personnel without having to mix up the responsibilities of the down lineman. I do like the quarters high look out of a 3/4 nickel pack squeezing the ends down and replacing the nose guard. So much you can do out of the 3/4, if only you had a guy that could rush passer.

SFW Posted December 11, 2019 Share Posted December 11, 2019 I don’t known about blaming talent...we had 3-5 NFL players on this years D. We won’t see that again for a while. Let that sink in. 2 Quote Link to comment

Adam Carriker did a podcast about the differences this week and one of my takeaways was the opponents' OL can have more communication issues dealing with a 3-4. Adam did not do well explaining the differences. It is very subtle and more perspective than significant changes. Quote Link to comment

Care to explain a little more. Match-up zone can mean several things depending on the system. You didn't provide much context to discern what you meant. Quote Link to comment

It's a little aged so the defense has changed a little bit. Brent Venables runs a lot of cover 1 out of it with 4/3 over, but I think its based on the same alignments. As a side note. If you search up quarters high match-up zone you will get a whole lot of pat narduzzi, but there are quite a few really good breakdowns too. Some good videos on youtube breaking down fronts, personnel groupings, stunts, etc. Quote Link to comment
