Yea but if you cant stop the power dive then you cant stop the offense. The point is not to just stop it but with minimal help from Linebackers and extra safety. That way those guys can still account for the speed runs off the edges. That's all I meant by that. Its a fundamental of the type of offense.


Wth is the power dive? Haha the whole point of the 3.4 is for the LB core to make the plays.

It's the center success of the spread offense. In offenses with a large QB like Tebow and Cam the QB runs up the middle on the QB dive. If these plays are allowed to be successful then in order to stop them more LBs and extra safeties have to be brought in to stop this play. This allows for more spaces on the edges for counter plays rather they be quick out passes, RBs coming in motion, or an option game. If the QB is smaller then usually a large back that can take some punishment is brought in to the power inside runs and the quicker QB runs zone reads.
