Are we being penalized for too many FS/SS on the field?
The problem is people can't "adjust" to personnel because linebackers cannot play the pass. So if you come out in a 3 TE set I HAVE to stay in a safety defense or else your going to throw for 450 yards.
Stop running nickel on first and second downs.
Why
They are run downs
It should always be based on the opponents formation. If they are running out 4 WR 1 RB, I will run nickle with 2 safeties (Atwater and Kareem Jackson) at LB.
Not many fumbles this year. I think I see maybe 1 fumble every 10-15 games.
Not like last year when there was like 3 fumbles a game. lol
It's called weak boxed, when you come out in a formation like Nickle or Dime your players become slower when playing against the run. There some formations in Nickle like 335 wide and nickel normal where you won't get weak boxed.

Weak box generally doesn’t activate when in nickel, Dime/Quarter yes 100 percent of the time
Last year for a fact this activated when running vs quarters three deep. I had at least 5 TD before half/ game winning TDs. Most of my RBs were slower and they still wheeled around the fastest defenders in the game for a TD!
For real?? I've never heard of this. Thanks for the tip. Although I run a lot of nickel normal and still get ate alive with runs.

Fumbles aren't even in the game, I just focus on conservative tackling and using Stonewall now
I had 4 lbs with enforcer and they didn't create a single fumble in 2 weeks
Something's up for sure dude. I haven't created a fumble in well over 40 games. Even hit sticking a running QB. My last 8 games of WL I turned on aggressive tackles.... And nothing

Well having 5 safeties and no linebackers you should be able to run the ball all over them
I have my kickoff team stacked with heavy hitters. Also I run 5 SS in nickel. The reason why I'm wondering if we are being penalized is because I have been playing this game a lot lately and I cannot create fumbles anymore, even hitting a QB running the ball. Also, whenever anybody runs on me they easily get 5 to 10 yards even if I pre-gess what they're doing it's absolutely ridiculous
