Highlighting Why the 3-4 Defense Is Your Best Bet for a Super Bowl Run | Bleacher Report

Now, I'd agree that they often do adjust and run the 3-4 Okie, which looks just like the 4-3 under, but they often give their bigger, stronger defensive linemen 2 gap assignments...

Note: I highlighted one of the links as there's some good commentary by Drew Brees regarding 3-4 defenses...

Thought if offered interesting insight...

The Ray Lewis era Ravens ran mostly a 4-3. He griped out loud when they ran a 3-4 and wanted them to switch back to a 4-3 so he wouldn't have to take on O-lineman.

They're lucky he didn't stab them.

lol...right, don't get on ray-ray's bad side, you'll get the drive-by with the limo treatment...

But I remember Lewis *****ing as well, but the Ravens went to that front because Ray couldn't cover the middle as he could before he got older...

No, he complained about it in the early 2000's. He was still in his prime.
