If I could only run one defense it would be 46.

If so, what was your approach? 9 6 3 0 3 6 9 across the board as far as alignment up front? Stategy please?

It is out of an odd front with double inverts so not quite a 46. It may be a bit much for younger youth levels.

Always been an odd front guy. Ran a 5-2 monster for several years before becoming somewhat "multiple", basing out of the 3-5 odd-stack. We do run some Bear using the same personnel, though mostly against double tight looks and in short yardage situations for the most part.
