Re: Playbook Talk
I run a 3-4 but end up in more of a 3-3-5 look more often because of the amount of spread teams I face and think of the 3-3-5 as more of my base defense.
I typically have 1 DE spot as a true DE and tend to recruit balanced DE for this spot. My other DE spot plays more of a hybrid DE/DT and I typically recruit Run-stopper DE for this position. For my DT I am only looking for run-stoppers.
I try to recruit balanced or coverage for my middle linebackers and one of my OLBs. If my d-line is doing their job, the coverage linebackers are fine against the run and allow me to play Cover-2-man defense without worrying about them being beat in coverage by TEs. My other OLB spot I recruit pass-rushing DEs or OLB with good pass-rush skills. It is also helpful if they have some zone-coverage skills as this will be the guy who drops into coverage in many of my zone-blitz plays.
