NASCAR front won't work. Please don't use this unless the game is in garbage time and it doesn't matter if 3 LB's are lining up on DL.

A NASCAR front isn’t three LB’s lining up on the defensive line. It’s three to four defensive ends.

I was kidding but, my point is when a DL is inconventional it rarely works out. The other team can also make adjustments when they see that front. It's a wash but we will see. It might work against a weaker OL at times. That's a lot of weight given up so the 3rd DE would have to have uncommon power or speed. There is a reason why this is rarely done.

Week #1 vs Houston couldn't have come at a better time. One of weaker O lines in 2018. DeSean was sacked 62 times last season.

I wouldn't call it unconventional, the formations are usually the same just that you put more speed on the field. Cam Jordan at 3-tech for example. If a guard has to block him alone that's a pretty tough assignment.
