Back to best d line for nickel defense?

Single thread,

Bro - Mack, Donald, Reggie, and Clowney is a pretty beastly D-line for a 4 man front nickel. I would probably say remove Clowney from DE because his overall drops much lower than Khalils does OOP. I would replace Clowney with LT.

You really shouldn't be too worried about stopping the run in that formation. When I go to nickel I want an all out pass rush and the players you named are some of the best in game rn.

How are they gashing you in that formation- outside or inside? If its inside I guess you could put the best block shedders in there such as Brandon Williams and Snacks - but then your pass rush suffers.

Maybe pinch your d-line so they can't run inside? Sometimes its not your players but your scheme.
