3-4 Under Front (Position Analysis)

Nickel 2-4-5 is what we will probaly run..but i have a problem with it. Its week up the middle against things like Draw plays because u have your two DE's on the inside and your two LB's on the outside. Its kind of light up front.


Id prefer a 3-3-5 with the WIll being the designated rusher. Still a 4 man front but you are keeping the 3down lineman ENT and your primary rusher is the WOLB.


Either way i think our Nickel should consist of our D-lineman having their hand in the ground opposed to two standing up. This way we can still get Galette on the field if he doesn't take well to being a stand up rusher.

That's why I think Wilson will be the SOLB...in our dime packages 2-4-5 would be Galette (6'2 258) and Wilson 6'4 250lbs on the edges and Hicks 6'5 325 and Jordan 6'4 280lbs inside...its possible to run this dime package successful and these are the players coach Payton wanted utilized.
