Tite front

Mint — 4i-0-4i

An odd-front look with both ends in 4i techniques (inside shade of the offensive tackles), clogging both B-gaps.

Against spread and RPO teams that attack the B-gaps and read interior defenders.

+ StrengthsTakes away inside zone and RPO reads; forces everything to bounce outside.
− Trade-offsSoft on the edges; needs athletic ends who can redirect.
