The 4-2-5 is literally what we’ve ran for the last 8 years, nothing different.
The Husky position is another way of saying Nickel, or Star if you’re a Rams fan.
The 4-2-5 relies heavily on interior pass rush and versatile DB play, we did not have a nickel who could play the run game (bookie)
And the interior pass rush was non-existent, it’s hard for the DEs to sack a QB AND keep contain.
We played a 4-2-5 but with a regular nickel, not a hybrid safety/lb big nickel. The DL alignment and gap responsibilities will also be different.
We put way too much on our DTs in the run game, and on our DBs in the pass game. Worked well when we had elite corners and elite DTs. This year we only had elite corners.
Better to have a scheme where you find guys who can fill a role, rather than require certain positions to be good at everything.
