MADDEN EDGE

← Glossary

Under front

Even front shifted to the weak side

An even front slid away from the tight end: the nose shades to the strong side while the 3-technique plays the weak side, outside the weak-side guard.

When it applies

To get your best interior rusher one-on-one with the weaker guard; against pass-first looks.

+ StrengthsIsolates your 3-technique on the weaker guard; still sound against the run.
− Trade-offsThe strong-side edge is softer; a good tight end can seal it.
