Nickel and Dime D
When running a 3-4 defense, who comes out in nickel and dime situations? WLB and WILB, WILB and SILB?

I believe its WLB first, then SILB.
Or did you mean in real life? |

I recall reading somewhere that in FOF:
4-3: WLB, then MLB 3-4: WLB, then SILB |

You may not have noticed, but in the ImperialFL I play Maynard at WILB. And that's how I got screwed when I accidentily played a 4-3 in my opening playoff game. I can still feel the pain and now he's disgruntled with me.

so if your going to have a linebacker with low rating compare to your other linebackers, then its best to have him at WLB?

Pretty much if you want your best overall OLB to stay on the field more. Or just play your best pass coverage OLB as the SLB. |

I don't see how that would be situational though. You'd have to play safties at OLB all game and not run the Nickel at all (right?) |

Or, perhaps, this lends the WLB to be the player who has good run-stopping skills, but relatively weak pass rush/coverage skills. Nont only is the WLB the LB who will see the lowest playing time, but he's most likely to come out in passing situations. It seems to lend itself well to a situational player. |

Personally, I think Nickel and Dime substitution is an area where FOF could be significantly improved.

I'm not suggesting that the WLB should be your best run-stopper, I'm suggesting that if there is a place to economize among thses positions, WLB is it -- and the best combination of skills seems to be strong run-D, weaker pass-D. |

My preference:
SLB : 1 = run D, 2 = team pass D MLB : 1 = run D, 2 = team pass D, 3 = pass rush technique (if available) WLB : 1 = run D, 2 = pass rush technique, 3 = team pass D (if available)
