Hey, this is Phil Coonrod on behalf of Expert Village today. We're going to talk about Madden
08. Up next, we're going to talk about the strengths and weaknesses of the Nickel package.
I got into it a little bit and the last clip we did but a big strength of the nickel defense
is that it's versatile. You have four. You still have your six big guys, your four line
men, a couple of linebackers. They still going to have perfect blocking to exploit any kind
of weakness you might have in the run game and you still do have an extra defensive back
in there in pass coverage. So, even if they came out with four wide receivers, you probably
still be in pretty good shape. You probably more want to be in the dime but you wouldn't
be in to bad of trouble if you were in this formation. So, a big strength is versatility
and some weakness are if they come out and they maybe have a couple running backs, a
full back, and a tall back and then they have a couple of titans and a only a couple of
receivers, you probably going to be in trouble in the run game. You want to make sure they
have probably three receivers when you choose this formation. Like I said in previous clips,
when you are choosing your defensive play, it will say how many receivers and running
backs are on the field for the computer or whoever you?re playing and this will be a
good one to run against three wide receivers. Even if they only have two wide receivers
in the game and but it's a passing down like a second and ten or more or second and nine
or third and short let or third and five, this is going to be good play to have. So,
nickels is very good versatile defense to have.
