There are two different schools of 3-4 defense. I'm no expert but as I understand it, the one gap 3-4 (which Aranda runs) doesn't require a massive space eater at nose tackle.


Furthermore, were in 2-4-5 alignment far more than anything else anyway.

Which the offenses we face are driving.

What I was excited to see is - by the end of the season (maybe it was just the bowl game), we started to get either 0 looks (or at least faux 0 looks) and I think Aranda is on to something there. It's passively aggressive and this causes a slight freeze of the offense off the snap.

I imagine this year, we'll see it more.

Why are they recruiting 350 lb nose guards, then?

This. My understanding has always been that NT is much less important than it is in a 3-4 like Sabans.

There are a bunch of different flavors. Most people think of Belichick's 34, which is all space eaters and the defensive line plays read/react while two gapping.

Then you have Wade Phillips, who one gaps and has actually used relatively small nose tackles. Jay Ratliff is an extreme example of this, dude barely weighed 300 pounds.

there are 3 actually.
3-4 okie front
3-4 eagle front
3-4 underfront
aranda uses 3-4 underfront where the NT lines up O shade technique or 1 technique.
