Rob Ryan Says Browns Will Use The 46 Defense

[Dolfan3773]

Browns defensive coordinator Rob Ryan, the son of the Art Vandelay of the 46 defense, said Wednesday that the Browns will be using that havoc-creating attack as a supplement to their 3-4 base defense.
“Really, the 46 was designed as a nickel defense,” Ryan told reporters. “It wasn’t really the base of my father either. It just started stopping everything so it became a base. We definitely run some 46 defense. Eric [Mangini] is a huge fan of the 46.”

I am confused all 3-4 teams play some form of 4-6 in nickel package so what he is saying!
