[QUOTE="Deleted member 6794, post: 554715"] I´m actually getting tired about the discussion about the 2-4, 3-3 and 4-2 but I will try one more time to explain my point of view. It is pretty obvious that we have to commit seven guys into coverage if the opponent lines up with five receivng threats (3 WR, 1 TE, 1 RB). Those guys normally consist of 3 CBs, 2 safeties and two LBs (preferably the two ILBs if they´re capable of doing that). So, let´s concentrate on the front four. By lining up with two down lineman and two OLBs in the nickel defense the scheme is way more flexible than playing three or four DL. In that case it is possible to either rush the front four or come up with exotic blitz packages as the OLBs could drop into coverage and you could rush a safety, corner or one of ILBs. It makes it tougher to stop the run, but that´s why you like to have OLBs that can play vs. the run as well. Playing with three or even four DL won´t allow a defense to be as flexible cause you can´t drop them into coverage. IMO the most important thing to be able to succesfully play a nickel defense is having DL and OLBs on the roster capable of rushing the passer AND stopping the run. Having some guys capable of playing both DE and OLB should allow Capers to run it more effectively in 2014. [/QUOTE]
