How do u get Peppers as SubLb?

I have him starting at LOLB but maybe because it's his secondary position it doesn't let me sub him in at SubLb in nickel. 

Kind of a waste if I only can use him with Lurker in a 3-4

Any way to get him as SubLb that you guys have figured out?

If I can't get him at SubLb is kind of a waste IMO

I don’t think you can put him at SubLb since he’s a DE. There are plenty of creative ways to user him though. What defense playbook do you use?

Chiefs 3-4

In Chiefs playbook you would have to user him off the D-line if you run Nickel formations. 

If you don‘t typically get a lot of production from your DT I would probably user him from that spot. Run Cover 2 formations and pre-snap adjust sending a Sublb to deep middle third, then user the middle with Peppers. 

Could also run a slot CB blitz play and user Peppers off the edge. When players see the slot CB blitzing they tend to throw to the HB in the flat or hit a quick slant and you just drop Peppers into coverage for the pick. 
 

I also like to use Dollar formations against pass heavy offenses. Plays like Overload 3 Seam and DB Fire 2 can be effective using a similar strategy to what I described above. 
 

Always send a Sublb to deep middle third when running cover 2 and you will want to set your coverage zones accordingly in coach adjustments.

I have Mean Joe and LTD Simmons at DT so those are strong spots for me.

I also Epic Ball Hawk strat card and all Man to Man CBs, Woodson, Revis, NTL, LTD Gilmore, etc , Cromwell at deep SS, Woodson at FS and all of them now have very high Man cvg because the Epic  strat card covers all DBs....so I usually like to play Man.

I like the idea of usiering Peppers off the edge but the only thing is I have Reggie and Strahan with edge threat/under pressure and they generate a lot of heat without me blitzing so if prefer not to take up a DE spot with Peppers :(. I have Stork but he's just less mobile than. Peppers.....I could do some of what you suggested,  they'rereally good solutions but I'm not sure it's worth it just to use Peppers instead of MF Derwin or Stork with Lurker or even Thomas Davis with Lurker who is also a very good user. 

It's just,  6'7" doesn't come around too often in a user.  I wish they gave Ted a better card.  I may just end up selling Peppers honestly.

Yeah it sounds like you’ve pretty well got it covered without him. I just love Peppers  cards in Madden, seems like he always makes plays for me. The thought of usering a 6’7” nearly 300lb DE with Lurker just sounds so fun to me.

I agree...actually my best user puck ever was with Stork back when LBs really jumped.  He went horizontal from like 5 yards away, it wasn't one of those pick  you used where the guy jumps 10 feet in the air 10 yards in front of the ball path ... it was actually doable IRL but it would have been highlight reel. 

I love being able to use wingspan and size in a user. So I decided to start Peppers at LE with edge threat and lurker, use the 4 AP, and see how that goes.  It's just a lot of AP between him and Strahan so one week probably. Have to use under pressure or unpredictable or something...Stra is always getting in the backfield w edge threat. 

Will experiment with it tonight after work. Yesterday so much of the promo was glitched
