I saw the Detroit Lions playing this defensive formation today:

LDE LT RT RDE MLB OLB LCB LCB RCB SS FS

something to look at, a 4-2-5

the only problem is with the way the engine set up we could only do it one of 2 ways

CB DE DT DT DE CB
MLB MLB OR OLB OLB
SS FS SS OR FS SS FS
That only beacuse we can not have 3 WR or CB on field yet.

But I say why not would be good change on pace to the 3 3 5

Just a suggestion because we have a lot of passing in the game. The Lions lost the game so maybe the formation is not great. Who knows ?

Just for the record: 1 MLB has to be there, so OLB OLB without MLB is not allowed...

spread nickel, or 4DL-2MLB-4CB-1SF

DEL DER DTL DTR MLB MLB2 CBL CBL2 CBR CBR2 FSC

This formation defends against the short pass through a mixture of coverage and line pressure while still maintaining a somewhat reasonable rush defense comparable(slightly superior to) to 3-3-5. The catch... this set is more vulnerable to longer passes than other 5 DB formation options. A somewhat strong option that can backfire horribly if misused.

edit...
This formation would depend on the engine being able to have the MLB's 'try' to cover the runs over the OT's when able. Also, if the MLB's aren't able to keep up with the outside rush(because of speed, agility, vision, whatever), then outside rushes would still be a threat as the RB/FB could potentially just run right over a CB(depending on the stats of course) and keep going. Inside rushes would be at a significant disadvantage though.

Again, I was aiming for a high risk, high reward defensive option. A spread defense to counter a typical spread offense.

That was my first thinking as well...having the inner CB instead of OLB is quite risky IMO

Both LB would have to be MLB as the engine doesn't support non-symetrical formations iirc.
