Will McD get out of Nickel base early enough to win?


Recommended Posts

There is no reason to be in Nickel base defence in this game. Against Mason Rudolph in the wind and snow they will not be passing the ball. They are going to run and run over and over. I feel like it will take McD having a couple TD’s scored against him to get out of Nickel and hope it’s not too late when points will be at a premium. It’s the only way Pit can win.

Go heavy and stop the run for the win. Also absolutely no need for Von Miller out there. Use Shaq and Kingsley and secure the edges go big.

We should hire you to be HC as you clearly know more than McDermott does.

Except Steelers run 3 WR 75% of the time.

Who are you putting out on the field after you take Taron off?

McDermott has been great this year as defensive coordinator, especially given all the injuries. You still don't trust him? Have a little faith. McDermott knows what he is doing.

Play 44 defense.

 

4 DL 4 LB 3 DB

 

The 4 LB's mix Spector/Poyer/Dobson. Even Klein to keep bodies fresh. We can get banged up defensively.

 

Ford, Joseph need to be up. Miller, for his knees sake, isn't needed.

I am assuming you are calling Taron Johnson a LB since you only named 3 LBs and he is one of the best at diagnosing plays and tackling.

Or you forgot to include Terrel Bernard.

 

Tyler Matakevich will likely be playing in relief as well.

They did sign AJ Klein so I think there’s a chance they show a true 4-3 but it’s not teams haven’t tried to run when Taron is on the field.  He’s just very good and he allows them to stay in Nickel without getting victimized.

I hope they sit Von again and activate Linval Joseph.  I don't see Von getting much push or speed on a slick field.  Better another wide body to clog the line of scrimmage and stuff the run.

Agree. Ditch the nickel base defense and load the box.
