Offseason Knowledge Base: Linebackers, the heart of the 3-4 defense

We pick up with another knowledge base article. Again, this is in no way remotely enough information to qualify you to coach a pee wee defense (which I did for a few years, BTW. It was hella’ fun. I highly recommend it as a rewarding experience.) Rather, these are to make you a more informed viewer; to know generally what you’re seeing when you watch games on television. The multiple 3-4 can sometimes look like an orchestrated car wreck, but there is a method to the madness.

When last we checked in on the Alabama defense, we began with some basics for the defensive line in the Alabama 3-4 defense.
