No joke, I’ve been begging for this since last summer!! The elite defenses around the NFL deploy a hybrid nickel 60 % of the time. Without a great coverage linebacker like Anzalone it’s the perfect time for the Detroit Lions to adopt this concept! LFG!!!
Shep was talking about change in Lions’ secondary when he said, "the nickel position, a critical position within the defense, wanting to expand upon how much volume we use the nickel, and who is that going to be?”
Said McCreary has popped so far.
But look out for Keith Abney.
