The 4 – 3 defense styles there are usually four down linemen and three linebackers. The middle linebacker’s job is to cover the end to make sure a run does not escape and to watch and protect the pass.

This should be done by stopping runs between tackles while watching the entire field formation and game play. When it comes to passing plays, the linebacker’s responsibilities vary based on whether a man or zone coverage is called.

In the 3 – 4 defense style, there are three linemen playing the line of scrimmage with four linebackers backing them up. This is typically done with two outside linebackers and two inside linebackers.

There are weak and strong positions for this formation but both positions do have its contributing attributes. This formation is done to disguise the direction the fourth rusher usually comes from, thereby ideally throwing the opponent off. The linebackers can rush the passer and play the run, depending on the play called.

In the 46 defense there are four linemen, three linebackers and a safety that is moved up to be positioned behind the line of scrimmage.

Deceivingly appearing as four linemen, when in actual fact only three function as linebackers, with one playing safety, this tactic has often proven to be a good line of defense. In the 46 both outside linebackers play on the strong side, which is the tight end.

The 4-4 defense is also equally defense effective at running a stop but is really a weaker option when compared to the 4-3 defense. One of the linebackers is usually called into either blitz or passes coverage in order to compensate for the missed DB.
