Build the Saints' 3-4 Defense

I agree even at his age I don’t want Cam 2 gapping. A wrinkle of the 3-4 under is that yes it’s a 1 gap scheme but at least 1 player has to 2 gap.

Generally that’s the 5 tech.

In some of those schemes the Sam is actually the primary rusher. The Will LB is a rusher/ dropper and then the Mike and Mo are the two ILBs

FWIW Roman Harper said it in 2016 that Allen’s defense is more 3-4 than 4-3 and to a degree you saw a lot of standup rushers the last two years so we arent diverging much
I feel like you need three guys lined up from 4-tech in to be a base odd front, regardless of who puts a hand in the dirt. It’s not easy to impact the B gap from the 5-tech spot, which creates the B-gap bubble common to even fronts.
