The Lions' Brian Branch and Fitting the Run as a Nickel

The former Alabama DB has become an instant star in Detroit and quickly one of the best Nickels in the NFL.

» In this episode, I talk about:

  • The NFL has quickly become a Nickel ‘Base’ defensive ecosystem

  • The key cog in a modern defense is the Nickel, which needs to carry the ability to cover and fit the run

  • I examine a play from the Buccaneers vs. Lions playoff game that illustrates how Brian Branch fits the run

  • Within the clinic, I talk about structure, run fits, and how the Ni can use the offense’s Pistol backfield to gain clues on what to do post-snap
