What? Let's look at who runs the 3-4 best - Alabama. What does Alabama do better than anyone else- atop the power run. What did every team want to do 20 years ago- power run. Ala Nebraska. With the right players and a coach who knows what he's doing, the 3-4 is down right filthy. But you have to have corners that can play on islands.

3/4 is popular against the spread being it allows you to have more dbs and even cheat a safety in as one meaning 5 dbs.

Check your math buddy. You can only field 11 guys. Nickel is popular for the reasons you stated. 3-4 is popular against the spread running teama because you put 5 guys on the LOS and you can contain off tackle runs with a dominant Nose.
