What Is Nickel Defense In The NFL And Why Does It Matter?

[@hatedekoning4377]

I'm one of those people outside the US: thanks! Can you make more of these?

[@SethPayneShow]

Sure! Any requests?

[@galantkoh3917]

@@SethPayneShow Also, from outside the USA. What's a Mike/Mic Linebacker? What's cover 1, 2 etc? And sometimes people refer to 'post' defenders, what's that?

[@philrobertshaw2197]

@@SethPayneShow The relative strengths and weaknesses of Zone v Man-to-Man; and why defensive coaches choose them? Really enjoyed this film, thank you. I'm in the UK and loving NFL but after seven years still sooooo much to learn - the opportunities for discussion and learning so much more restricted outside the USA.

[@DianaRussia531]

Basic stuff for me but I think it's great you do this. Tons of new fans, overseas fans, young fans, first time female fans...probably a lot more people who are fans today that never played as opposed to years ago when the vast majority of fans were males who played HS football or grade school football at least. 🤘🏻🤠

[@marybuckley7859]

Thank you, Seth, for the free terminology lesson. It’s good to know the meaning behind terms heard so often. I’ve been watching football since I was little and just now learning the details behind the terminology…I appreciate you!

A dime package just means you have 2 nickels. Nickel + nickel = dime.

Best description of the Nickel Defense I have seen yet

[@scotthamann1476]

Seth, this video is great! This channel could be called "Everything you always wanted to know about football * * but were afraid to ask"

[@ramon6]

Thx Seth!! Best explination so far.. Short and funny. Love this channel ❤

[@jeandonaldson2290]

Super good explanation!

[@VictorOrnelas-y5w]

Great job, thank you for this!

[@Highznberg]

The 4-6 is my favorite defense. I primarily use it on Madden when I'm trying to stop a run heavy offense.

[@Texfanjay]

Seth! Just in time for me to listen while mowing!

[@drewsy4358]

Hey, Seth, this video is awesome!!!

[@SethPayneShow]

Thank you!

[@jamespost4546]

Yes - this - thanks Seth more just like this please

[@bretthopenwasser2267]

Thanks, Seth. Could you play coach and show us how you would play are current roster defense. I am just curious what to expect.

[@raynerlarue8004]

Excellent explanation and humorous as well 😄thank you for the entertainment Seth!

[@SethPayneShow]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@PillzBerry27]

The 4-2-5 is call the Big Nickel Over G plus that defense it can make a cover 7 created by Nick Saban and Bill Belichick. It's a match coverage defense.

[@2throwed281]

May be you could explain the difference between a 3-4 olb and a 4-3 de. Why people make big deal with "putting your hand in the dirt". Don't they pretty much serve the same purpose? Pass rush and run contain.i know dropping into pass coverage but I've seen plenty of 4-3 ends drop into coverage.

[@DianaRussia531]

4-3 DE's generally don't have linebacker skills and don't play in space as well even though you see them drop back for short area zones in some concepts or exotic blitz packages.

[@retiredrho7721]

Hi Seth! I’m watching the replay of Texans 360 from this week, showing the highlights of last season. I still remember commenting on the Flashes of Brilliance” and I’m just curious about your opinion about those “Flashes”. becoming the norm for us this coming season. Do you have the same sense of excitement about the Team that I do?

[@TX_Eric]

were do I see that Bret INTERVIEW, IT SEEMS TO BE A hell of a FUNNY clip

[@SethPayneShow]

Here you go! I had meant to link it in the description kzbin.info/www/bejne/n56VmYuQlMmcr5Isi=h9MSWhPF8pRLquQ2

2:43 They are the most agile* players on the field. Athletic is a subjective summation of attributes.

[@johnmilliff162]

Good job Seth with the X’s and O’s explanation…

[@The09photoman]

Awesome way of explaining. Coach Payne maybe? Sounds great 👍🏻

[@jakemohundro4387]

I like a 3-5 that’s sort of like dime with hybrid outside linebackers/box safety’s but you pretty much need 2 high now a days

[@janetski641]

I’m glad that I’ve been watching football longer than Farve and I didn’t know this stuff at all, but I recognized the differences visually. Never wanted to ask either! Cause I’m a woman watching and I don’t want to invite the mansplain!!😂

[@brandonhallam51]

If anyone isnt sure then play some Madden and youll get it.

[@RonaldPhillips-hh4yo]

I didn't know that

[@SethPayneShow]

@@RonaldPhillips-hh4yo I meant to say the ones who play Madden

[@SethPayneShow]

ALTHOUGH...I haven't played Madden in a looong time, so I don't have a clue what terminology they use on there

[@TyrellThomas-to1lk]
