Cause it becomes too predictable? I agree in general though. When there's little pressure on decent QBs, they can make milk toast out of you.

That's why I don't get it - and honestly, I know I hammer this to death. But I'm pretty sure I'm right.

3-4 gives you four LBs, from eight different angles, to rush. The main reason to use it. So why - rhetorical question - do these DCs then walk up one, and sometimes two, LBs to put their hand in the dirt on the line ?

We had that position back in the day !!! Called a DE !!! Bigger than an LB, smaller than a DT.

If you want to run 3-4 ... you can rush one LB every play. Doesn't have to be the same LB - or in the same gap. Or, you can only rush three and watch the QB slice and dice. I guess it makes these coaches feel better that they didn't get "burned".
