So I'm running rex ryans 4-6, I'm guessing this is 4 Dline 4 CB 2 S..

What should my philosophys be? Thanks?

I'm running the red skins so I'm thinking -

CB - Manhawk
SS - Run support (Landry..)
FS - Centerfield
DT - Run stopper
DE - undersized pass rusher
MLB/OLB - blitzers...

Thanks

A 4-6 is a 4-3 with the Strong safety moved up to the LOS.

Quote:

This formation was invented by Buddy Ryan, defensive coordinator of the Chicago Bears during the 1980s. Instead of having four linemen and six linebackers (as the name may suggest), it's actually a 4-4 set using 4-3 personnel. This was accomplished by moving a safety up into the "box" instead of a fourth linebacker. The '46' refers not to any lineman/linebacker orientation but was the jersey number of Doug Plank, the player Buddy Ryan first used in this role at Chicago. The other feature of the 46 was the placement of both "outside" linebackers on the same side of the formation, with the defensive line shifted the opposite way. This defense was the philosophical equivalent of the "Notre Dame Box" offense devised by Knute Rockne in the 1930s, in that it used an unbalanced field and complex pre-snap motion to confuse the opposing offense. Chicago rode this defense into a 15-1 season in 1985, culminating in a 46-10 win over New England in Super Bowl XX.

Those philosophies sound about right
