This is the basic alignment vs. a 2-back set (the DEs are in a 2-point):
..................F
C.........B..........B........C
.......E...3...0...3..B..E
.X.......T.G.C.G.T.Y
................Q..............Z
............H........F
DL:
The three down lineman must check on every play for an unbalanced line. Regardless of who is snapping the ball, the nose (0) lines up on the fourth O-lineman (including split or tight ends) from the sideline (counting from either side). The DTs will line up shaded outside the third O-lineman from the sideline on their respective sides.
Be wary of the unbalanced line with a SE:
Correct:
......T...N..T
Y.G.C.G.T.T.........X
Incorrect:
..T...N..T
Y.G.C.G.T.T.........X
The nose has free reign on most downs. He can play as a traditional two-gap NT, shoot to either side, bull rush the center, even move to either A gap just prior to the snap. If your nose cannot be blocked by their center without help on a consistent basis, run blocking becomes very difficult for the offense.
The DTs must never be reached and must also try to prevent the jump through (escape by an OL to the second level). They have B gap responsibility. They will rush the passer through the B gap on a pass. The DT should get his hands on the guard (assuming a balanced line) every play while keeping outside leverage with his hips.
Before moving on, any questions from Coach Ben (or anyone on DL play)?
