Thanks man! Now to figure out what that all means!

odd front from the Ravens. Unlike our odd front, their DEs align in the 4-tech straight over the tackle as opposed to us which our DEs align in the 5-tech.

Under front from the Ravens. Weak side DE is playing the 3 tech, with a shaded NT, and the other DE playing the 4-tech. The strongside DE typically has 2-gap responsibilities.

4 tech straight over the tackle? Isn't that a 5 tech? When I played, 4 was inside shade, 5 straight up, 6 outside shade... for the tackle. Guard was 1,2,3 and Tight end was 7,8,9. Could have changed over the last 10 years though.

I'm copying this. Might make it my desktop background. I need to know more about football.

I wonder if Houston is a better fit playing DE or the SAM LB position?

I will say this though: the guy is REALLY fast off the edge. He has Dwight Freeney speed.
