Nickel NASCAR – Nickel formation exclusive to the NY Giants which places Jason Pierre-Paul, Justin Tuck, Osi Umenyiora, and Mathias Kiwanuka on the defensive line. This puts more speed on the field for the Giants.

Nickel 2-4-5 DT – Nickel formation in which the DT replaces the RE on the defensive line.

Nickel 3 D Ends – Nickel formation that uses three defensive ends and one defensive tackle

Nickel 4 D Ends – Nickel formation that uses four defensive ends
