[QUOTE="wist43, post: 559234, member: 9839"] Then how do the other 31 NFL teams deal with covering TE's and RB's in the nickel when they don't play the 2-4 at all?? As I pointed out by posting the percentages that other teams play the 2-4, they manage just fine. I didn't post all of the teams, only the ones that played either a 2-4 or a 3-3 some percentage of the time. The teams I didn't list, didn't play a 2-4 at all, ever. You guys are either so locked into 'all things Dom', or just arguing the point with me b/c you don't like anyone saying everything the Packers do isn't the essence of perfection. ------------------------------------------------------- Let me ask you this - if you can't cover 3 wides, a TE, and a RB with 5 DB's and at least 1 LB (and that's assuming a blitz by sending 5 on the pass rush)... what kind of alien coverages would you be running that wouldn't afford you to be able to do that?? I find it amazing that every guy on this board can't wrap their mind around playing nickel in any way other than the 2-4, when the rest of the league functions just fine without it. It sounds as if you would argue that it would be nothing short of idiotic to blitz out of any nickel formation?? I'll give you an example of Dom blitzing out of the 2-4 to great effect (problem is he doesn't do this enough) - and that was Clay Matthews sack of Michael Vick in the 2010 playoff game. We were technically in a 2-4 on that play, but Capers had his backers roaming. Matthews actually came on the blitz from an ILB spot - coming underneath 2 defenders stunting (Hawk and Raji I think it was). He sent at least 5 on that play as I remember (Hawk, Raji, Matthews, Jenkins, and Walden). And what about all those corner and safety blitzes out of the slot?? How many sacks did Woodson have in 2010?? Dom is entirely capable of putting together a good scheme, but the last 3 years he's done little more than line 'em up the way you guys seem to like, i.e. a static 2-4 and the results have been disasterous. It seems by the reckoning of every guy on this board is that the [I]ONLY [/I]way to play the nickel is a straight up 2-4, and blitzing is against the rules ;) [/QUOTE]
