Attacking the Nickel 1-5-5

The last couple of ranked games I played, the guys I played against ran mostly the Nickel 1-5-5, and it didn't seem like they hot-routed many players either. While I won the games, I had a LOT of trouble moving the ball against them.

I had trouble running up the middle, I had trouble throwing, and I only had middling success on runs to the outside. I run the west coast playbook and generally play conservative, short quick throws and run the ball, try to make a good catch and run, then mix in some gun plays.

What are some good ways to attack the 1-5-5?

then your fine !!!!!go back to practice....and play against that to find some money play's that's all.....

Stick to your scheme, sounds good, I would add some toss plays since the heat came up the middle.

misdirection runs with a fast rb destroy it and flats dont bother trying throwing acorrss the middle they want u to do that, i run the the run heavy pb n everone uses the 1 - 5 - 5 part of the reasons i switched to it from seattle n past 4 games ifaced 1 - 5 - 5 i put up 50 run heavy is no joke

ne guys want it

attacking the 155 is all about patience and running the ball... someone who is good at creating nanos will run the 155 and shut u down for the most part...wen going against someone who runs the 155 dont bother calling plays that require u to pull a guard caus the backers will shoot straight through...my thing is go with big sets even goalline and run stretches and sweeps...also to run up the middle try motioning a wr or TE to were u wanna run to free up a blocker or stop the penetration then look for the bounce if nothing is there

run left and have someone do a crossing route over the middle (TE) it kills it, but doesnt kill me cuz im nasty wit 1-5-5
