The 46 defense is a defensive formation that uses four down linemen, two linebackers, and five defensive backs. It was developed by Buddy Ryan in the 1970s and was popularized by the Chicago Bears in the 1980s.
The 46 defense is designed to be strong against both the run and the pass. The four down linemen provide a strong pass rush and can also stop the run. The two linebackers are responsible for covering the middle of the field and stopping the run. The five defensive backs are responsible for covering the receivers and preventing them from getting open.
The 46 defense is a very versatile defense and can be adapted to different opponents and different offensive formations. It can also be used to blitz the quarterback, create turnovers, and pressure the offense into making mistakes.
