3-4 ZONE BLITZ DEFENSE ALIGNMENT
Question
Using the DL technique numbering system, at what numbers do the DEs, NT, and the 4 LBs line up? 1-gap and 2-gap 3-4's have different numbering, so I got confused. I'm trying to understand how the Dick LeBeau system aligns, and it's a combo of the 2 defenses as a whole defense. Thank you.
Answer
Dear Brad,
It is not easy to explain all the details of the numbering system without diagrams or pictures. So I am sending you two web-links that detail the numbering system with diagrams. I hope they will help.

This web-link is the American Football Terminology Dictionary. It will help you when you need to communicate with hard headed coaches lol.
