El Paso Four Man
Ends in · tackles out
Both ends slant hard inside while both tackles loop around them to attack the edge — an outside-in twist across the whole line.
When it applies
When the quarterback keeps stepping up through interior twists — El Paso attacks the edge instead.
+ StrengthsFlushes pocket passers; looping tackles are hard for guards to pass off.
− Trade-offsCan open interior escape lanes if the slants get washed; soft against draws.
