Top Nickel Defense Lineup

aflaccoseagulls said:

There is no pure best lineup because it all depends on how you are running your scheme and getting players to fit that scheme. For example, this defense would suck ass if you ran mid blitz because Atwater and Taylor have such low man coverage ratings that they are liabilities.

However, if you're just playing zone coverage and spot dropping this lineup features a lot of hit power leading to fumbles and probably interceptions, and Clay Matthews is a good option because he's on the taller end of the spectrum for ILB's.

I personally would roll with Hendricks and someone like Derrick Johnson if you're just looking for height + coverage. Or you can always use someone like Adrian Wilson or Kam Chancellor at SUB LB for their height as well.

Also don't really understand the point of the first half of this reply because I explictly stated nickel over defense lol, which for me outperforms every defense I play against

Nickel Over is no different than a base nickel in this game, so yeah what you're describing is a pretty generic nickel defense personnel grouping.

Regarding your other comment, you cannot use Clay, Demario, and Ray Lewis on the field at the same time and run a nickel defense...That's not nickel personnel that's base personnel unless you're lining up Clay on the edge and dropping him into coverage every play.

Unless you're holding most your opponents to 10 or less points and getting 4-7 turnovers a game, I think you are being out performed by this

So who are you rushing the passer with? Hendricks? You drop Clay every single play?

Randle and Perry handle pass rushing duties, they usually both have 2-3 sacks each

Top 100 is really just about how much you play, anyone who is above average and is willing to play a lot can get top 100.

Those aren't terrible numbers at all though, good for you!
