I was looking for an article with Clancy I read a while back breaking down the 3-4,4-3 and under very specifically but I can't find it back.
I did find this though.
Glenn Dorsey. Dorsey was drafted as a 4-3 DT for the Chiefs. In some cases, he is considered a special DT called the “Under Tackle” (UT). These “Under Tackles” are DT’s, but possess rare ability to use quick and agile moves to get to the QB. When they run(or ran) the 4-3, Dorsey was a perfect counter part to Tank Tyler, the 4-3 NT, but in a 3-4, Dorsey is almost useless. At 6-1 and only 290 pounds, Dorsey is merely too undersized to be a 3-4 DE. Most 3-4 DE’s are at least 6-3 (if not taller) because they use their brute strength and arm length (For better terms, Wingspan, meaning length from fingertip to fingertip) to held “block” the Offensive Line so that the LB’s can rush the passer. Dorsey though, does not possess that ability what so ever. There is the exception that the Chiefs may try the 3-4 “Under” scheme at certain moments of the game.
The 3-4 Under would do the following. The DE on the opposite side (Jackson) rushes to the outside of the LT, turning his back to the QB. Then, the NT(Tyler) would try to clog up two blocker (The Left Guard and the Center), then the SLB would get in between the TE and the RT. This would leave the opposite 3-4 DE(Dorsey) to go one on one with the Right Guard. The problem with that is, What I just explained, is basically meaning putting Tamba Hali back on the Defensive Line, which is basically the 4-3 Defense all over again. In that instance, why would one even bother with a 3-4?
