What are your Favorite Teams Formation Subs?

This may seem like a duplicate thread but its not. I'm not asking for what subs you would do if you control a team.

I'm asking for what formation subs your favorite team did last year, have done in preseason or you've heard they will do this year. This will help alot of us update teams in a 32 team franchise.

For example with the Cowboys, Randy Gregory will likely only play in passing downs and will be the DE in Nickel, Dime and Quarter formations.

Orlando Scandrick will likely play CB in the 4-3 but nickelback in Nickel and Dime.

List your teams below.

Here are the ones we have so far:

List of teams that split RB carries pretty much evenly:


ATL (Freeman and Coleman)
CIN (Hill and Bernard (Bernard is used heavily in Shotgun)
JAX (Ivory and Yeldon)
MIA (Foster and Ajayi)
DET (Abdullah and Riddick)
NYG (Jennings, Vereen (passing downs) and Williams)
NE (Blount and White)
TEN (Murray, Henry)
SD (Gordon and Woodhead)
DEN (Anderson, Booker and Hillman)
DAL (Elliott and Morris) (assuming could be just Elliott in the Reg Season)
NYJ (Forte and Powell) (60/40 split)

Dallas:

Randy Gregory will likely only play in passing downs and will be the DE in Nickel, Dime and Quarter formations.

Orlando Scandrick will likely play CB in the 4-3 but Nickelback in Nickel, Quarter and Dime.

Chris Jones holder for PAT and Field Goals

Sean Lee Dime linebacker

Lee and Hitchens Nickel linebackers

Church sometime plays the backer spot in Nickel and Heath subs in at SS

Packers:

Cobb (WR) at RB in certain Shotgun formations.

Steelers

P Berry - Kickholder (NEW)

Nickel Lineup

Jones/Harrison (DE)
Tuitt(DT)
Heyward (DT)
Dupree (DE)

Timmons (LB)
Shazier (LB)

Cockrell (CB)
Gay (CB)
Sean Davis (Dime Corner/S)
Doran grant (Nickel Corner)
Mitchell (S)
Golden (Will Allen wasn't bought back) (S)

Broncos

Chris Harris Jr at nickel!!!
Ware is gonna be relegated to more of a pure pass rushing role this year

Our backup OLB's in Shaq Barrett and Shane Ray subbed in a lot last year which points to them playing lots this year.

Marshall and Davis – Nickel Lbs
WR Thomas– Slot in select 3WR formations, Trips formation
P Dixon - Kickholder

Seahawks:

Bennett at the 3T (DT) in all nickel and dime packages
Frank Clark at RE and Avril at LE in all nickel and dime packages
Jeremy Lane at the nickel in all nickel and dime packages

Baldwin in the slot in all 3 WR sets

49ers:

Davis - Nickelback

Carradine – Nickel DE


P Pinion – Kickholder (New)

Jaquiski Tartt will get time as a LB/S hybird. Probably line up next to Bowman on 3rd and longs.

Eli Harold and Brooks will split time once Lynch returns unless Harold does really well. Eli would be replacing Brooks in nickel.

On offense, the only one is Bruce Ellington. Sounds like he'll be mainly in the slot but also working in the backfield at times like the TZR role at Oregon.

Cardinals:
I know that they like to use Tyrann Mathieu as a slot corner in the nickel/dime.

On offense, they like to use Larry Fitzgerald in the slot and have John Brown and Michael Floyd on the outside.

Minter – Nickel and Dime LB
Bucannon- Nickel LB
Butler – Kickholder

Bills:

Robert Woods in the slot in all 3, 4, & 5 wide sets (#2 on depth chart).

Nickel Robey at nickel back in all nickel and dimes sets (can now bump him back on depth chart so he never plays outside for more realism).

Marcel Dareus in for the LE/LDT in all nickel sets and dime sets.

Sub Shaq Lawson or IK Enemkpali (until Shaq is healthy) in for Manny Lawson in nickel & dime sets. Manny Lawson will be the starter due to higher overall rating (& Shaq's injury), but Manny gets taken out or bumped back to inside linebacker in pass rushing situations.

Jets Offense:

5 Wide: RB Ivory (Now likely Forte) played on the left outside. Marshall in the slot left side.
4 Wide and a TE (3 on left 1 on right) – RB Forte or Powell on the right side. Decker in the slot
4 WR with an RB – Decker in the slot.
1RB 1TE in the backfield – 3WR – Decker in Slot
P Lachlan Edwards is the holder on K.

Harris and E. Henderson are the nickel linebackers.
Nickel Skrine kicks inside to nickel back and Marcus Williams plays outside (New)

32 team control. If Gregory is the starting DE. Go to the sub menu. Select the 4-3 menu and replace Gregory with another DE. Do the same for goal line and any run heavy formation.

He is but not in my franchise. Once he comes back from suspension he will likely be the DE on passing downs.
