Teams are able to keep up with the passing game by going to 'swift' personnel, that keep linebackers on the field.

IRL yes, In Madden, it depends. If you are subbing out an 85 OVR outside linebacker to put in a 65 OVR nickel or dime corner then you are probably sacrificing too much.

Yea but that 85 OLB probably can't keep up with a wide receiver the way even a 65 CB could.
