The 46 defense is great if the defense can tackle lol

[FootballGameplan]

@free2rhyme214 - That's always important! LOL

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

Thank you!

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

@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.

@hauntedspawn81 Wrong.

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

@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.
