Nickel Defense = Fast & Aggressive
Cross between a 4-4 and a 4-3
Easy adjustment to Formations / Personnel
Gap Controlled Defense with easy defined
run fits.
Good Blitz Angles
Good angles to set the edge!
Allows us to run split coverage defense.
Allows us to get to a 4-4, 4-3, 3-3, & 3-4
with same personnel.
What Personnel is Needed?
• If “Speed WINS” then Design your
defense for Speed =
– Aggressive Corners = Safeties
– Stiff Safeties = LB’s
– Oversized LB’s = Ends
– Oversized Ends = D Tackles
– Biggest D-Lineman = Nose (your anchor)
