maybe I should butcher not understanding a defensive front 6, or 7, and instead call it "a 3 man front" when there's only 3 guys with their hand on the ground
Why would it not be a 3 man front?

because fronts include linebackers

There's lots of terms used in football. People say a 3 man or 4 man front when talking about how many down linemen they have. And people say the front 6 or back 7 or whatever the number dictates. He's not wrong when he says a 3 man front because it determines your blocking scheme.

a 4-3 is a seven man front per historic football coaching terminology
some big thinkers might call 4-3 a 6 & a Half man front, and they would not be wrong
same with both on the 3-4
a 4-2-5 is definitely a 6 man front
down and distance come into play per weekly game plans, nickel package is usually considered a 6 man front or 5/half
dime packages are normally considered 5 man fronts, or even 4/half, for instance if you're defending against Mike Leach

fans have different ways of expressing themselves
coaches use coaching terminology
all fronts determine blocking schemes, and all of those blocking schemes include accounting for the linebackers

It has different meanings. The 4-3 is talking about the front 7 but it's still a 4 man front because of the number of men on the LOS
quote:

This would be a 3 man front within the front 7.

You're talking about two separate things. The number of men on the LOS and the number of men playing DL and LB

Nope.
A 3-4 is a 7 man front. It doesn't matter that "3 guys have their hand on the ground."
a 3-4 means you have the personnel to have huge fast outside linebackers, larger than the normal 4-3 outside backers
again it's got zero to do with "having your hand on the ground."

Hot damn, I hope you're trolling

you're talking in circles
you were moving in the right direction when you considered the blocking scheme. Blocking schemes account for everyone on the defensive front, not just down linemen.

Hmm, it's almost like I said exactly that but you read something else.

You literally cannot read
What I said...
let's be clear this time: the entire defensive front determines the blocking schemes. That of course INCLUDES linebackers.

Do you know why combo blocks exist?
Because linebackers exist.
Drilling down a tiny bit, do you know why chip blocks and scoop blocks exist?

You don't think people call it a 3 man front but you're going to question if I know why combo blocks exist
