If it's 2nd & 8/9 having an extra S like Branch would help against the pass while not killing us against the run. You still have 4 down linemen.

Explain to me these possible formations and their respective personnel

Essentially this with Branch/Berry instead of Coleman. Houston and Tamba would be standing up but on the line.

Dude. That's a light nickel defense with a safety replacing the second ILB. 2-3-6. That's two defensive linemen (Bailey and Poe), three LBs (Houston, Hali, and Mauga) with 6 defensive backs (one of which, Abdullah, is in the box acting as a LB).

How in God's name do you think running such a light formation will help us compensate for losing Poe?

Completely forgot to mention DJ instead of Owens with Abdullah playing nickel/safety depending on the offensive formation. It doesn't matter whether Houston/Hali are standing or with their hand in the dirt it's still basically the same formation.
