woah woah woah cheif

i was cool with debating you but now that you've said that i have something to tell you

do you know why the 3-4 was invented and why its becomin more prominant?

obviously not.....the 3-4 is designed to stop the pass....thats why there are more LBs....more LBs equals more speed......its also great at pass rushing because of all the blitzes you can come up with because of the extra LB.....the 3-4 is a base defense so obviously it can guard against both the run and the pass but it is better designed to stop the pass because of the extra LB and less suited to stop the run because of the 1 less defensive lineman

the 4-3 is better suited to stop the run because of the extra defensive lineman. they have less LBs so they are a bit more liable against the pass but because its a base defense it can usually guard against both well......the extra man on the front line is supposed to stuff the run and stop it at the line of scrimmage

the 3-4 is a pass defense first and a run defense second

a 4-3 is a run defense first and a pass defense second

like i said.....both of them are base defenses so they can do both fine but 1 is better suited to stop the run and the other is better suited to stop the pass
