Someone explain to me the difference between saying your base D is 4-2-5 and just playing Nickel, because I've seen people making a big deal out of this with our previous 3-4 base and roster construction, and I'm not seeing it.

We have been in Nickel at least 80% of the time for the last 10 years. I would bet of Nickel, Dime, Rabbit, and base 3-4, we have been in base 3-4 the least of those since like 2015.


Bump.

There are many types of nickel (5 DBs) packages. Alabama played some 3-3-5 and 4-2-5 nickel this year. I think they were most successful in 4-2-5.

I imagine we probably have the personnel to run this scheme no problem.
