What are your thoughts on how to attack a 3-4 defense with the nose head up the center, and tackles head up on tackles? We are a balanced offensive attack, so what do you guys suggest for the run and pass? Thanks fellas.

Jet, toss, sweeps and cutbacks. Get those LB's moving and expecting things wide and bring it back on them.

Run at the bubbles too. I like running against a 3 man line.

What do you run (out of gun-4 wide) when the DE's are pinching hard inside to B gap? We just lost a game to our arch rival in OT 12-9 b/c when running inside our tackles could not control a hard inside slant by the DE's. Granted their DE's were much bigger, faster, and experienced than out OT's but when their DE's wanted to come inside we didnt have a chance.

Wash them down and run GT kicking out the defender thats left and swabbing up on the LB. Best thing is you can read the backside DE for the pull.

We played a 3-4 team last week. We ran zone, power and some option/dive out of multiple "I" sets. The FB racked up several yards on the dive. Then we stretched them out with the zone when they started to over flow we cut it up or ran power. After awhile the safeties came screaming up to stop the run and we burnt them on play action.

A lot of motions. See how they react to them. A 3-4 historically has to make several adjustments to motion. That being said, some people have reinvented the wheel and are good at keeping it simple.
What are they going to do with a doubles set to the weak side? Will they roll the safety down to cover him up? If they keep the safety back and the weak OLB moves out on number 2 what do they do with the DE? Will they X the DE and OLBs?
Make sure you are sound in pass protection.

We've only played one team that uses the 3-4 as thier base defense, but I've noticed that the most effective way to attack it is to establish your domination in the 0,1,2,3,4i, 5i gaps.
Unless the other team has a young Ted Washington playing NT, your C and Gs should be able to get lots of movement inside the tackles. After youve pounded them inside, use play-action.
From there you can do anything you want since the defense cant over-commit to the run and if the DEs and OLBS are cheating inside or coming down the line in pursuit, then use pitches, end-arounds, and bootlegsto tire them out, then go back inside.
