Right now when i align my DL, my ends line up between the OG and OT
is there anyway i can get him to line up head up or outside the offensive tackle

i play the 4-3 though, would i have to do a DE,DT,NT,DE type of thing

also reading through the forums, i found that DL dont create that much pressue, do you think i should switch to a 3-4 base?

I'm still in the stage of experimentation. I've run a 4-4 for the first couple of games. Most teams aren't very good at passing the ball, so I chose to stick 8 men in the box. It worked out pretty well thusfar, but it is always difficult to judge competition in this game to me. Now that the idea has been thrown out there, I'm curious how a 4 man line with a nose tackle would work out. I might have to try that.

I feel more comfortable keeping 3 linebackers to help defend the run.

Putting a NT in and dropping a MLB weakens the second level. If you keep 3 LB's and have only on Safety, weakens the pass defense.IMO
