Dallas 4-3

I want to make a distinction here: When Jimmy Johnson coached the Dallas Cowboys in Super Bowls XXVII and XXVIII, Dallas’s defense had an abundance of talented players among the front seven but didn’t have particularly speedy or skillful cornerbacks. The Dallas 4-3 defense used four down linemen and three linebackers but gambled more than Johnson would have otherwise allowed and occasionally used more of a nickel scheme, inserting another defensive back in place of a linebacker, as shown in Figure 11-4. This defense is predicated more on a team’s personnel than on a particular alignment.
