Will we see more Big Nickel with a combo of McDougald, Diggs, and Blair? Pete likes Hill too so maybe he’ll be in the mix to.

What say you?

Maybe. The formation utilizes 3 safeties, so adding Diggs as a hybrid S/CB would foot the bill.

Good question.

Week 8 saw the following defensive backfield snap percentages ....

Tedric Thompson --- 100%
Shaquill Griffin ---------99%
Marquise Blair ---------86%
Akeem King ------------85%
Jamar Taylor -----------44%
Neiko Thorpe -----------16%
Brad McDougald -------14%
Delano Hill .................. 0%
Quandre Diggs ............ 0%
Tre Flowers ................. 0%
Ugochukwu Amadi ...... 0%

I've wanted to see more "Big Nickle" for some time. Although, accumulating the talent is not an easy thing with demand so high and weekly casualties having become a weekly NFL headline. From what I recall, from recent press conferences, Pete is staying the course with his evolving (retro) plan A defense. He believes there is a next level there suggests it's full maturity is yet to come. It's a process.
