Mathieu at SS or CB? Help Setting Up Defense...

I mostly run Nickel - suck at defense. Please help me set up my D and specialist. I’ve been playing with 90 Junior Seau and Edmonds at SUBLB and was thinking about swapping out Edmonds for Mathieu but not sure if this is smart.

FS - 89 Atwater, 86 Minkah

SS - 90 Mathieu, 84 Terrell Edmunds (will move on from Edmunds if I need to or Switch Minkah over)

CB - 90 Dre Bly, 89 Aeneas, 87 TreDavious White, 84 AJ Terrell.

Atwater doesn’t work for sub LB, does he need to be powered up and switched to SS ?

You can’t put FS in the lineup at sub-LB, but you CAN manually sub them there in game in certain Nickel/Dime formations.

I switched to Nickel 3-3-5 out of Multiple D. Here’s how I set it up:

Deep FS — 88 Minkah Fitzpatrick
Deep SS — 91 Adrian Wilson
Outside CB — 92 Rod Woodson
Outside CB — 92 Asante Samuel
Slot CB — 85 A.J. Terrell
Sub-OLB — 86 FS Ronnie Lott
Sub-OLB — 91 SS Tyrann Mathieu
Sub-MLB — 86 SS Terrell Edmunds (usually my user)
RDE — 91 ROLB Adalius Thomas
LDE — 88 LOLB Khalil Mack
DT — 90 Amobi Okoye

I think this is a pretty ideal set-up, though Steve Atwater would probably be an upgrade over Lott (Lott has been very good me, however). Minkah, Wilson, Samuel, Rod, and Honey Badger all have 90+ ZCV, so I’m hoping that helps.
