4-3 
|
The Defensive Ends in a 4-3 line heads up over the offensive tackles (or their outside shoulder). His responsibilities include:
1) Outside containment on off-tackle or end sweep running plays 2) Provide outside pass rush, utilizing bull-rushing, outside speed rush or stunts with the defensive tackle This diagram shows the DE in a 4-3 alignment. One prospect may be selected over another based on the following factors: A. Prevailing defensive philosophy: In a "read and react" 4-3, the defensive line controls the offensive line to allow the LBs to flow to the ball. In "attack and penetrate", the defensive line takes more of a 1-gap approach and the LBs have more gap responsibilities. B. Opponent's offensive philosophy: In facing off tackle plays or sweeps, the Defensive Ends have responsibility with support from the outside linebackers. Responsibilities in the passing game are 1) collapsing the pocket, 2) providing an exterior pass rush and 3) increasing length (hands and arms up) to limit the opposing QB's vision of passing lanes. |
