nfl base defenses

bylanta · #1 10-22-2007, 05:49 AM

I am hoping people here can help me compile a list of teams base formations. For instance, the Niners play a base 3-4. I am hoping to figure out what teams are playing cover 2, 4-3, etc.
Here is what I think so far:

SF: 3-4
DAL: 3-4
STL:4-3
SEA:4-3
ARI:3-4
CAR:4-3
ATL:4-3
NO:4-3
TB: COVER 2
MINN:4-3
GB:4-3
DET:COVER 2
CHI: 4-3? 46?
PHI:4-3
NYG:4-3
WAS:4-3
KC:4-3
SD:3-4
OAK:4-3
DEN:4-3
NE:3-4
MIA:4-3
NYJ:4-3
BUFF:4-3
BALT:4-3
CINCI:4-3
CLE:4-3
PITT:3-4
HOU:4-3
JAX:4-3
INDY:4-3
TENN:4-3

Any corrections/suggestions are welcomed. Thanks.

This should be in Sporting Events, not Sports Betting. I don't have any info to help you with your question.

I think Bears, Seahawks, Colts, Bucs all play a base Cover 2, while the Lions have been known to ignore base defense altogether...

Cover 2 is a 4-3, fwiw.

I'm pretty sure this is incorrect. While it is the default, there's no reason you couldn't be in a 3-4 and still have your safeties playing cover 2.

Edit: Just noticed that Pokerfink already said this, meh.

For the purposes of this thread my answer stands. Every team the OP listed as "cover 2" is running the 4-3.
