How do you coaches employing the 46 handle this look? Does that CB just get killed on the line or what?

Three options:

1) Align as you have diagramed with the CB on the TE. If you have a physical corner and/or their TE is not a powerful blocker you will be fine. Note: Some teams will just have their SE align tight, if so no mismatch there.

2) Sub in a LB or SS type for a CB if they sub in a second TE.

3) Align the DE in a 5 or 7 and have the CB play a 9 (or 90). If in man, CB can play TE in man OR CB can rush off the edge, WLB has TE and CB peels off if a RB releases out to his side.

This gives you alot of speed at the LB position. It also gives you one of your better players at the 7 tech.

I hadn't thought of caveman's 3rd option or newguys'. All great ideas. Just depends on individual situations I suppose. Thanks! Blue
