Nickel is called nickel and not 4-2-5 because it suggests that there will be a 3rd cb and not a 3rd safety and it also suggests that two safeties will be playing deep instead of one. Basically, I was asking if he meant Nickel or the traditional 4-2-5 with 1 FS and 2 Rovers
The 4-2-5 and the nickel are two different ways to say the same thing. The numbers just delineate what amount of a certain personnel group will be in on the play. They are generic terms for a defensive set where you have 4 DL's, 2 LB's and 5 DB's. Generally team substitute a safety or cb for the third linebacker based on situation and talent level at cb and safety.

You're exactly right, which is why i only asked which dbs he was speaking of the 3 safety package or 3 cb package, because there will be 2 safeties and 2 cbs regardless, and it's a valid question because if TM isn't on the field in a 4-2-5 then Reid or Loston would be, so it's not like ... "obviously TM".
