3-4 D

[Verb58]

With everything dropping in stages how long before a high school team is using the 3-4. Most D's I've seen are the 5-0 and 4-3. Just wondering if anyone uses the 3-4 and puts 4 fast LB's on the field verses some slower d-line. If your team uses it how successful is your team.

the 50 is the 3-4 you idiot

red bank runs this defense in certain packages during the game. we'll just back the two fast d ends up. we have great success in this defense

My reference of a 5-0 is 5 D-Lineman with 2 LB's I don't know what 5-0 is in east TN but in the rest of the world of football that is what it is. Most 3-4's have 3 down linemen and 4 lb's so this can't be the case. 2 dt and a ng, 5-0 is 2 de, 2 dt, and a ng...4-3 uses 2 de and 2 dt.

again, the 50 and the 3-4 are the same defense. in the NFL they call it the 3-4, anywhere else it is called the 50. as i said, the 50 and the 3-4 are the same defense.

we run the 3-5-3 defense 3 dl and 5 linebackers the 2 outside linebackers are spurs and they drop back like corners or come in quickly if its a run works great.

[EastTNGuru]

what does the 3-3 stack have to do w/the 50 heath?

man I clicked on this thread w/the hope of seeings some 34Ds! (boobies)

Jefferson Co is now running the 3-4 and was very successful with it last year. Coach Smoot's starting unit pitched 6 shutouts, didn`t allow a TD at home until the last home game of the season, and held the high scoring DB offense to just 7pts (which came off a turnover by the offense).

[Verb58]

Does anyone run a 3-4 like the pros do. I've always classified the 5-0 as 5 Defensive Linemen and 2 linebackers. Maybe it should be refered to as the 5-2 I don't know. but anyways. I was wondering if the NFL version of 3-4 where 3 Down linemen and 4 LB's are being used in TN high schools. If you are using this hybrid of 50 are you successful with it. My question wasn't to show that I'm an idiot I just wanted to know what defense's were being used across the state. Guru be careful with the name calling on this site. Just because the nomenclature is different doesn't infer lack of intelligence.

 

JC4life thanks for the info that is what I was looking for.

BA, MBA, and McCallie both run basically a 3-4 but they call it a 50. Their "Defensive Ends" are both linebacker sized and arent in a 3 point stance. Then they have two DT's and a NG.

[Crossings]

not exactly... MBA, BA and McCallie all run variations of the 3-4. The 3-4 can be the 50, but that's not always the case. If you change some alignments then the 50 suddenly can become something else and still be a 3-4. 50 means you have a head-up nose, 2 5s (or 4s), 2 d ends and 2 lbs. You could make it a shade, a 3, and a 5 (to either direction), though... and that's not a true 50. MBA BA and McCallie all do that im pretty sure.
