makes it very difficult on the d line. Most plays the offensive line has a 5-3 advantage. Sometimes more if a tight end or running back stay into block. Really hard to get penetration.

I seem to recall Jan Jorgensen having a great junior year followed by a lackluster senior year (at least based on sacks and tfl) in large part because we went from 4 down linemen to 3. Maybe I have that wrong, but that’s how I remember it.
