Primary Defensive Formations in American Football

Hi! I am Geoff on behalf of expertvillage.com. I am now going to show you the basic skill positions for the defensive line. There are two types of defensive formations, primary defensive formations. The first is called a 4-3 and the second is called a 3-4. With the 3-4 you have two defensive ends and a nose tackle. For the 4-3, you now have two defensive ends, which are myself and Tristan and two defensive tackles, which are myself and Madison and those are the basic skill positions for the defensive line.
