When we go to a Dime Defense, the Strong LB goes out with the Weak LB and our 3rd Corner and maybe one of the 3rd Safeties comes in.
Is this about right?

I don't think there's any set rule for substitutions on nickel and dime formations. Every D-coordinator has their own plays and it can be many different allignments on any given play.

If I had to guess, I'd say that the strong-side LB goes out before the weak-side LB does on passing situations.
