Number5 Posted July 28, 2006 Share Posted July 28, 2006 Straight from the EMB, the Eagles have unveiled one of their many Nickel packages and from the looks of it, they plan on using it alot.... COLDeagleGREEN (one of the resident TC Guys writes) LDE - Kearse DT - Patterson DT - Howard RDE - Cole LB - Barber LB - DAWKINS CBs - Hood and Sheppard Nickel Back - Brown SS - Lewis FS - Considine From the looks of it, the team is trying to use Dawkins closer to the line of scrimmage since he is the team's best blitzer out of the secondary next to Brown, who in the Nickel usually blitzes off the edge. Considine, who is the heir apparent of the FS position and actually was heavily endrosed by Dawkins last night on CSN, looks as though the team is working on getting both of them on the field.

TD_washingtonredskins Posted July 28, 2006 Share Posted July 28, 2006 That's pretty cool. It should be interesting to see that in action. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oldskool Posted July 28, 2006 Share Posted July 28, 2006 That lineup is a nice wrinkle but if a team sees that coming and can audible the pass into a run, it could break for a big play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dockeryfan Posted July 28, 2006 Share Posted July 28, 2006 I would be very surprised to see this in the regular season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like a dime that can easily shift to a Joker, a 3-4 or a 5-2..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
