Defending the Spread with the 46 Defense

He looks like mark Ingram

I think the alingment is wrong, the 46 defense is basically the 4-3 with the safety is up towards the line.

Thank you!

[Torretta13]

it isn' the "4-6" defense..it is the "46" defense...forty-six, not "four-six."

[keontez]

its 46 as in Forty-six not 4-6, its was named after Doug Plank's jersey number. Come on, guys...

@keontez Thank you for that info on Plank, I did not know that. Although, there is no evidence that this is still considered a 46 defense. The SS and nickel is covering the slots, while there is 1 LB. The 46 is designed for blitz crazy action with LBs that can cover downfield like the NY Jets do every game. The TNT lineup in the front with 2 ends included is nothing like the 46 defense.

1:39 -This looks more like a dime out of a 5-5 Cover 1 Man scheme defense than a 4-6. Why wouldn't you have 2 LB instead of 5 lineman. This is not a 4-6 made famous by the 1985 Chicago Bears with 4 lineman, 3 LB, with a Safety dropping down with CB out wide and 1 safety running free.

[hauntedspawn81]

@hauntedspawn81 or maybe a 5-2 with a SS coming down, but this is definitely not a 4-6

[FootballGameplan]

@hauntedspawn81 - It is Definitely a 4-6.. Look at the alignment of the Ts and the Nose..

[hauntedspawn81]

@FootballGameplan -A 4-6 is called a 4-6 because with the beginning look the qb gets from the defense it contains "4" down lineman on the first level and "6" players on the second level-(3LB, 2 CB, &1 SS), and then a lone safety hovering the top of the scheme playing back about 25 yards. What you have on you screen is 5 down lineman, 1 LB, and 5 DB, which is really a 5-1-5. A 4-6 is a look, not an alignment. The nose tackle is "0" gap and the tackles are in a "2" gap.

[keontez]

@hauntedspawn81 Wrong.
