3-4 vs. 2 back run game

If you know the 3-4 best, I say run it. If not, run what you know. I think the 5-2 / 3-4 is great if you believe in it, and I think the 5-2 is great against 2 back teams. We are also often very small, especially in the DL. I would rather put a fast guy at DT and Nose than a big slow one.

Hope that helps.

JUST MY OPINION, BUT THE 5-3 IS THE BEST RUN STOPPER EVER DEVISED.

Coach Easton-TIGER ONE

You can have a dominant run defense with only three down lineman. Our preferred way is the 46 with a stand up 5 tech. on the weak-side. As Coach Mountjoy states, this can be combined with "robber" coverage by the FS to give you, effectively, 9 in the box.
