Anyone running 2 SS as sub LBs?

Looking for any reviews of people running two SS at sub LBs. Currently running power up Mathieu and power up Lanier. Just finished Tillman and thinking about swapping for Lanier instead of Mathieu. I’m running a 40/50 chiefs theme with chiefs passing D chem and 30/30 lockdown. Worried I’ll get run on but from a coverage perspective two SS would be nasty.

Thoughts?

Yes since LB suck in pass coverage this year.  I think everyone pretty much does that

I can relate to your predicament. I have a 40/50 Chiefs theme as well and the same players you mentioned. I have Troy Polamalu and Pat Tillman  as my subLB. I also put the FS chem on the Honey Badger... Throughout the game, I’m rotating Matthieu, Polamalu, and Tillman between SS, backup FS and occasional LB. I also have Eric Berry power up but only use him for a Chiefs theme tally mark.

Tillman and Polamalu do well in the LB spot and are effective in stopping run and swatting passes in the middle... Matthieu not so much.

Been running Tillman and Jamie Collins as my Sub LB's. They've been a great mix. I user Patrick Chung at SS since McCourty can do everything without touching him. 

But I'm a safety user, not a MLB user so it depends

Got it, thought Tillman might be better in the box vs up top. Also have Polamalu so maybe run him in the box with Mathieu or Lanier and throw Tillman as the high safety.

If I run any package that allows this i usually run adams & Ray Lewis at backers for the run support & keep Tillman up top, he plays great in open space, not so much with OL in his face

I ran Tillman and MF Neal there for a bit with Gauntlet James at the SS spot. It did alright, but I like having Tillman on the back end so I put Willis and Shaz back there.
