Message: [QUOTE="money3189, post: 4285556, member: 436"] In the 3-3-5 the Strong side end can line up inside or outside from play to play. Its dictated on the personnel of the offense, down and distance and situation of the game. Base alignment is a 5 technique (outside shade of the tackle) but there are times when they play the 4i and the 3 technique, A 4i (inside shade of the tackle) gives teams that run power plays fits because you have a D lineman sitting in the B gap where teams want to run. It changes the rules for the offensive line and forces them to communicate well. 3 tech is outside shade of the guard and it forces the guard's and tackle's to double at times. The SDE will also play a 9 tech which is outside the TE. As you can see there are multiple aligments and movements. That's why they look for versatile D lineman. [/QUOTE]
