How to counter a 4-3 offense in football?

Answer by  jellis951 (9)

There is no such thing as a 4-3 offense in American football. 4-3 refers to a defensive set where you have four downed linemen and three linebackers. The 4-3 defense is best used where the offense is in a position where they would most likely run the football.

I'll assume you mean a 4-3 defense. There are many variations of 4-3 defenses, but they often use zone schemes as opposed to man-coverage, so use pass plays to find holes in their coverage. A 4-3 can also susceptible to strong power-running game since this defense emphasizes speed over size.

YOu can run a dime or a nickle offense, i always recommend running zone defenses against passing plays and running man on man defensive plays while its a running play.
