Just a question, dark_wing...

rating 3-4-4 vs 4-3-4 I can deal with, but why do you put 5-2 in the middle?

Not speaking for dark_wing, but against the pass the 5-2 has 4 DBs whereas the formations below it have 3 or even 2.

Another question related to defense vs the pass. Does the Defense play ZONE or MAN?

agreed for me there should be no real difference between 3-4 and 4-3 it should just come down to the players the team has, to work out which is better for them with 3-4 having 1 OLB blitzing almost every down like they do in the NFL

I think, the main difference between 3-4 and 4-3 is
4-3 based on DE pass-rushing
3-4 based on the OLB blitz
For 3-4 DE is "light" DT and OLB is "light" DE.
So 3-4 is close to 5-2, not to 4-3
