There far more alignments that end up being variations than a perfect 3-4. Si it’s more concept.What you will notice is a significant number of 6 in the box when the snap happens. That essentially means you’re starting by playing on your heels trying to prevent the big downfield play. Often in doing so (rushing 4 and 2 immediately behind or 6 box sets) you allow lots of 1 on 1 scenarios at or past LOS. Good RBs (and good pulling blockers) feast on that setup.You’ll see us getting eaten piece by piece underneath 5-10 yards by TE’s and above average RBs, those guys that are good YAC just take big bites. I bet if you asked Brady he’d say he loves our soft boxes and playing 5 yards off Receivers. He can bleed is slowly.There’s much to be said about LOS congestion. Drives me crazy when it’s 3rd n 1 or goalline and we have 3-4 guys at the Line inside 6T area and no one over Center! Pettine was famous for this.  A Massive gap etc.. There should be 5-6 on that Line, even if you’re going to peel one into coverage post snap. Totally different if it’s 2nd n 13, let them have 4-5 yards up the gut</blockquote>
