As a former linebackers position coach it should be no surprise that we will be employing the 3-4 defense where linebackers are the stars.

[left]3-4 Defenses tend to like the Pass Rush. It will be our primary anti-pass option and mostly from the outsides or, if we have a real bruiser on the end of the line, between the guard and tackle.[/left]

[left]We wonât collapse a lot of QBâs passer pockets, but if we can recruit fast outside linebackers we can have some success getting to QBs from the outside. [/left]

[left]Inside linebackers will be the primary line of defense againt up the middle runs. The D Linemensâ most important job in a 3-4 is to keep 4 or all 5 of the opponentâs O Linemen from blocking your pass rushers/linebackers.[/left]

[left]The 3-4 emphasizes speed over size. We wonât need the biggest D linemen but they will need to have good footwork and they will need to be able to use that speed to tie down 5 Big O linemen.[/left]
