It’s not about titles it’s about the player and his assignment.
Again when you play a 43 and put one of the lbs on the line jamming the TE is it a 52? No it isn’t.
I recognize that “most of you” aren’t calling
a nickel package with a lb and a s up on the line because you think there are 6 DL, you are calling it that because you are misnaming it.
Who has the responsibility is a huge part of it.
Nickel personnel is a nickel defense. It is an entirely different scheme, package and designed to take away an entirely different offensive package than a 6 DL 6-1 defense.
It’s night and day.
