Why do we use 6/7 Man

Pressure?

Places stress on the Offensive Protection

Offense is forced to keep RB in the
backfield
QB has very little time to get the ball off
Attack protections/weak pass blockers
Great for run and pass downs
As long as you understand the concept,
you can send any six or seven players you
want, ie. Variety
Its one of the reasons why you run a 3-4!!!
