4-3 over Smoke Mid Zone

Heres a lil blitz/nano I've been toying with, don't know if its been brought up already

4-3 over-Smoke Mid Zone
Found in: All 4-3 books, and 46

I'll use the positions as they look on the screen

The best part about this blitz is that you can just leave it as it is, you just have to make one adjustment

Steps
1.Re-blitz LDT (as it is on the screen)
2.Bring MLB down on top of LG (where he is assigned to go originally)
3.Place ROLB (on the screen) Just behind the RDT, maybe a yard (guesstimate)

Optional: Re-blitz RDT (as it is on screen)
assign RE or SS to a flat zone

and there you go easy a-gap pressure, usually the ROLB or DT comes in untouched

Remember I described the positions as they are on the field

Give me feedback please!

yo swag leme know if you find some other 4-3 stuff. I have found that if you leave most of the 4-3 blitzes as they are or try and bring up LB's to there assignments that you get a good pass rush

very good nano, i tried it today and it is basically a nano in its self. i would actually like to run the 4-3 if it wasnt so damn sh!tTY. i just think you could nano out of it easy, i might have to lab it and see what i can get. just seems like the pass coverage is so bad

I think if you run 4-3 its more important to match up with the offensive personnel on the field. With 3-4 you can stay in a base d against all but 5 wide. with 4-3 you cant, you have to match up, IMO. It is a bend, but dont break D mostly

You can also do the following:

1. Flip play at selection.
2. Reblitz DT's and RDE (From Offense's View)
3. Place LOLB behind the left hip of the LDT and the MLB behind the right hip of the RDE. I user the ROLB in the middle of the field.

Gotta practice this one, it's tought to get setup perfect in time for the snap, but very effective blitz that gets pressure really quick...

a!!!! is this the play miked is talking about or something new????

i hate the 4-3, 3-4 is definitely a better formation this year and especially when u have 4 fast LB's on the field, but some teams like the vikings should be ran as a 4-3 no matter what, i wish the 4-3 was better cuz i love the 4-4 split in Tennessee pb
