4-2-5 and 3-3-5 Defense Man alignment

[TXHusker25]

It has been like this since last year too. Any time you call man vs. trips to one side, the backside strong safety just lines in the middle of the defensive formation without covering his man.

Smart human players would just have him run a quick out and its an easy completion.

Yes, but it does not help with this problem. I quit running these defenses all together because of this, which is sad because I like the 4-2-5.

I think run 4-2-5, I just set my audibles up so I can run Nickel if the situation comes up.

Yeah I'm running the 4-2-5 with Michigan. Michigain is making a comeback this year. Do you also play both QB in certain formations? I run Air Force offense so I can run the triple option with Robinson...Go Blue.
