nickle 1-5-5 confusion

I labbed this PB for an hour or 2 last night, and I figured out some things you can use with it. What you do is call a play like cover 3, and move the defenders around on the line and to opposite sides of the line and stuff. having 4 ppl blitz is good enough, and can move the LB's around to confuse the Oline. you can bulid a 2 play scheme by doing this. one that is an actual 5 man blitz, and another that only has a 1 or 2 man blitz and the rest dropped in coverage. NEVER manualy blitz any LB, because that'll screw up the confusion.

Yo man thanks for the tip. I have tried to use the 1-5-5 and had no success so I dropped it... Maybe il go back to it thanks

whats a good way to stop the run from the 1-5-5 formation?

I really dont know. If you clog the middle with 3 LB's and leve 2 on the outside it works kinda good.

i like the Nickle 1-5-5 because the defenders move all over the place making it hard to read the defensive coverage.

slide the dt to the left and put the dt in contain. put the other lb in containand on top of the dt, and put the third lb in a spy when you know its a pass. creates decent pressure

maybe if u jus run commit left or right and use your safety u can stop the run

1-5-5 is easy to run on if you know how to slide protet/lead block.

1-5-5 is more of a confusing pass defense. because the LBs "automatically" move around (like the Ravens do in real life)....it is hard to tell what defensive coverage is being used. it also gets very little pressure on the qb. but...if your opponent passes a whole lot...then this formation will confuse and frustrate them.

1-5-5 really puts a lot of bad players on the field though.

depending on the team i think

If you don't want 5 LB's on the field, put on of the 155 plays as one of your audibles. Come out in a package with your favorite personnel, than audible.
