A couple I think could help out the D are

There's more and more teams running 2-4-5 d in the NFL. Keeps.your rush olbs on the field but should still be strong against the run as you still have 2 DTs. I think it would be more effective than the 3-3-5 at plugging the middle while still having bodies to stop outside runs.

Another is the heavy nickel. Instead of an extra CB coming on to replace a LB it's a 3rd S instead. Would help against balanced teams imo.

Would add some options to DCs. I think both formations could help a little with the run heavy unbalance. Both are strong run stopping nickel formations that let the D be more flexible.

Thoughts?

2 man front would not go well against the run at all. Can't fit that money run stopping lbs on your team. Would mostly be used against the pass putting more bodies on receivers.

Don't know if these formations are all that essential more than just a lot more plays but I'd never turn down a new formation to fool around with both offense and defense.

I do get your point. But with pass rush olb your not much different than a 4 man front really. But now that I think on it maybe LB isn't as strong as DOes in dot ball like real life. 2 NTs 2 rush OLB and 2 range run stopping MLBs works pretty dang good in real life. I do see the error of my thought in the game.e now that you bring it up

Has to be an existing formation he says. To bad I guess

Good luck running 4 lbs with 2 being basically lineman. If they weren't you are just gonna get trucked easily by run block oline. It would be a formation you run against an all pass team trying to put as many bodies in coverage as possible. Definitely not used for run stopping tho. Unless you got some crazy engage 8 coming from weird places.
