What's your favorite defensive alignment?? You have to change with your athletes but what would you run if you could??
What are its strengths and weaknesses??
Maybe you like to mix it up, why?? positives/negatives???

during a scrimmage, the opposing team had they had their nose (i was playing center) stand over me instead of getting down in a stance. it never made much sense why you would just eliminate your leverage before the ball is snapped in an attempt to try and get a quickness advantage with a lineman.
as a center it was way to easy to just snap the ball and get a hand into them and slow/stop any progression before you got out of your stance.
we didn't play the team that season, but did the next and they didn't do that in the game, so maybe they were just testing some stuff out that day...all in all it made no sense to me.

In nine man you dont run into a lot of teams that have much of a passing game besides a deep play action or screeens. I say bring 7 or 8 in the box and make the offense beat you.
My personal favorite is a 4-3 with studs at the defensive ends. Have them crash hard on the ends' outside shoulder every play hopefully slowing the passing game and giving your tackles only the A gaps as their primary responsibility and also shrinking the field making it harder for the runningback to get to the second level. you almost have to run a man coverage with 7 guys in the box so weakside linebacker has back coming out of the backfield and your corners/safetys have the outside guy on each side. and then your strong side backer has probably a tightend and your middle is free to make plays. if you play a cover two out of this any sort of tightend seem is going to kill you.
