As a newbie owner, what formations allow me to put 2 man on the WR on the strong side for Strong I formation?
Dime would I think.
Will 4-3 cover 0 work as well?
What other possibilities are there?

Thanks in advance,

Dime or Nickel would work, 4-3 cover 0 will bring the safeties up yes, but most teams rush from strong I anyway so why take linebackers out?

A cover 2 would somewhat give a double team against deep passes.

You can run one of the Nickel formations with Cover 0, 1, or 2.

This is what I was going to ask. Do you mind if I ask what the reason is in doing this? Are you having trouble stopping a Strong I inside rush? I've learned (at least it seems to me) that the double coverage is determined by the weakest match up. If they run up the middle on a Dime out of the Strong I they are probably good for 7 or more yards a pop. Especially with the overall performance of power backs in season 7 lol.

My last playoff match was against a team that would run HB sweep strong 100% of the time on first downs. I wanted 2 CBs line up on strong side and blitz one of the CB. We ended up winning that game
