For those of you who run a 4-3, I want to get some feedback on whether to put the DE on the TE side in a 9 tech as an edge player or in a 6 or 7 tech playing the C gap. I know both ways are used but I wanted to get some opinions on which is better. Any help is greatly appreciated.

BILLS SUGGGESTION SOUNDS GOOD TO ME. PERSONALLY, I NEVER HAD A HARD AND FAST RULE AS IT WOULD CHANGE FROM OFFENSE TO OFFENSE THAT WE FACED. IT WOULD CHANGE FROM SERIES TO SERIES SOME NIGHTS. IF WE FACED AN ISV TEAM, HE WAS IN A 7. IF THEY RAN THE OSV, HE WAS IN A 9. WE WOULD CHANGE THAT UP JUST TO MAKE IT HARD FOR THE QB TO READ WHAT WE WERE DOING IN HIS PSL LOOK.

A 9 & a 1 would be HUGE. Even a 7 & a 1 should not have more than 2-2 1/d yds between them or they will ISO you to DEATH. ALL good defenses have "split rules"!
