Can someone explain this to me - Texans Defence

[T5063]

Ok, I researchd the 2-4-5 nickel formation and it all makes sense now. I read that this formation is good to use if you have good depth at LB (which Texans do with Williams and Cushing both over 85-ovr IIRC and a few other decent LBs).

This got me thinking. If, lets say, Williams and Cushing both went down with injuries would the CPU automaticaly start running a different defence for me on gameflow since I'd be thin at LB now.

No, you'd have to sub in your most compatible players to fill the role, so be sure to sign/draft depth. Or you may be able to do a formation sub to actually put DE's at pass rush, if you have DE's that have a pass rush skill set.

Another thing I noticed is if you move Mario Williams to LE, his overall is a 98... yet at ROLB (which I think he's at now) he's much lower than that...

I'm sure this is how it is with many other players on different teams, but I'm wondering if it's worth it to put all players at whatever position they rate the highest in?
