Quote:The way I understand this defense is, it's kind of like playing 3 tackles and an end (the leo).   The leo is kind of in between a linebacker and an end, hence the name "leo" (Linebacker - End - Option).  The non-leo end that plays over the TE is more of a defensive tackle type.   It's kind of in between a 3-4 defense and a 4-3 defense.   Red Bryant is the non-leo defensive end, basically a defensive tackle who has been moved out to play defensive end.  

 

Is that about right?   I know that's way way oversimplified, but isn't that about the simplest way of understanding it?
