[QUOTE="mradtke66, post: 942823, member: 4199"] This is somewhat accurate and somewhat not. In the run game, yes, the intent is to keep the off the ball linebackers clean. However most modern 3-4s are still gap defenses. Or they play hybrid games where the strong side 2gaps and the weak side single gaps. Or just the NT 2-gaps. The 3-4 does not depend on blitzing to generate pressure on a down in, down out basis. They, just like a 4-3, expect to generate pressure with 4 rushers. I can't talk to specific teams, but that typically means the 3 down lineman and the weak side (to be clear, away from the tight end) linebacker. That is the true in 3-4s as well. Now your NT might bull rush in a 3-4, but he's likely doing the same in a 4-3. Ditto 3-4. If anything, one could argue that the 3-4 makes the option easier, as you have 4 pieces to pick and choose to send extra in your front 7, rather than 3. If you are calling zone coverage, but schemes work to this point. If you are calling man coverages, MLBs shouldn't be in man against many recievers. Ah, but we have to talk specific assignments. How can you honestly compare and contrast the two if we don't? I disagree with this assessment entirely. It's cyclical. Whatever most of the teams in the league are running will make certain players more or less in demand. I'd also say there isn't all that much different between 4-3 and 3-4. Both want a big ole run plugger nose tackle. Both want two long, strong, and deadly edge defenders. Both want a sideline to sideline clean up tackler. Because Bill Belichick is such a scrub ;-) [/QUOTE]
