in the past with a 3-4. Many NFL teams run a 3-4. I think the meme-ers are angry about results. I don’t care if they line up with 7 on the line or 2 on the line. It’s the results I care about. Not the scheme.

It was pretty consistent for all the plays

He went with the 3-man front more often in earlier games for obvious reasons

Are you sure the 4th defender was a DL?

↑ This. Plus the run recognition by the LBs was terrible.

So it’s not so much the 3 man that is the issue for you?

The scheme isn’t the defense’s biggest problem; the execution is
