Try the Packers Nickle defense.. Has 3 different formations, also has the "big nickel" as well.

Ive had a lot of fun with the ravens offensive playbook and using the Bengals for defense

Bengals have a really diverse Defensive play book.

On my YouTube channel, The Sim Experiment, I have breakdowns of the stock Spread, Eagles, and Colts Offensive Playbooks. I also have a video on my custom Air Raid playbook. Check those out, and let me know what you think.

Customized Raiders offense. Customized Lions defense.

Just in case you didn't know, every playbook got the identical Big Nickel Over G formation.

It's an especially nice add to a 3-4 playbook...the flexibility of a "true" 4-man defensive front in a sub package is nice.

There are a handful of 3-4 books with Nickel Normal, too. NYG, DET (3-4/4-3 Hybrid), NYJ, etc.

What he said, especially if you like to use several tight ends.

The Raiders playbook is a godsend if you like putting 2-3 tight ends on the field and creating matchup nightmares for the defense. If you're more the running type, those formations allow you to put extra linemen in those tight end positions and run your back behind a wall of humanity.

The Raiders playbook is awesome. In one of their base formations is a play called Raiders Verticals. It's nearly unstoppable. You can run that play all the way down the field by making slight variations to routes/blocking and do something totally different out of it every snap.
