I tend to play: Nf6, d6, Nd7/Bf5.... and e5 pretty late...
Silver Tape Opening vs e4
Sort:
Have you ever looked into the Nimzovich Defense? That one is off the beaten path and might appeal to you. There's a series of videos about it posted on youtube by chess.com member NM Aww-Rats.
Here's the intro video:

The Philidor?
1.e4 d6 2.d4 Nf6 3.Nc3 e5 reaches the Hanham Philidor in a safe manner.
I have enjoyed playing the Old Indian and I would like to find something similar vs e4. Low tech and robust. Playing OI I tend to delay My blunders.
Suggestions?
