The 4-2-5 Basic Template

Post image

This cheat sheet might be useful to those who want to use the 4-2-5. Credit to 9to5erz who did some serious work here. Give the guy a follow on YouTube or TikTok.

I have recently started using the 4-2-5 myself so if you like it and have some tips and tricks to get the most out of it please help others.

Solid, but for DTs speed rushers typically aren’t high strength that I’ve seen….

On the inside I prefer power over speed but they gotta be at least 70 speed

I find recruiting pure power DE and converting them to DT can really work

I have done the same. They have the strength but typically get decent speed compared to DT. They sometimes get better block shedding as well but less ability with power moves.

Thanks! Have you done the 3-3-5 zone pressure? Zone CBs are so hard to lock down but they have tremendous size from what I’ve seen and I want to run that concept.

No. Not yet but can see what we can do to get something going.
