We run a multiple 7 man front with a lot of blitzing, stunting, and aggressive secondary play. I am looking for a good check vs a power I or three back look, especially power I. We have basic 52 and 4-3 looks and play man and cover 2. They can run or pass from the look, but run with 2 of the backs leading more than anything else. They do run some option. Last week we had an automatic blitz in the A gap from a bear front. I didn't like it. I'm not even sure what coverage I like best. What are your preferences in these situations?

We faced a team that was double-wing, but would go to PowerI in short yardage. We had an AFC (Automatic Front Check) in that week....

We're a 40 defense, so I don't know how it would work for you, but....

No matter what call we had called in the huddle, once they got to the line and were in power I we had a "Power (right or left)" call and immeditely played what we call "62 Tight Rock Will Line".

We called strength to the Power back.
We walked the WILB on the LOS and rolled the SOLB up to a 9. The entire DLine stunted to the first strongside gap.

They ran it 5 times and didn't get over 3 yards.

What coverage(s) do you play behind this auto adjustment?

"6" is our front (4-3 look)
"2" is our coverage (cover 2)
"Tight" puts our SOLB on the line in a 9
"Rock" slants the Dline to the strong side
"Will Line" puts the WILB on the line in a two point into B gap.

This is nothing more than a 4-3 Cover 2 look(respecting boot).

Our edge player is a scrappy speed rusher, he shoots the nub in C gap.
Our Will is much bigger and is very aggressive, so he gets in a 3 tech (from a 30) and shoots B gap.

Our Nose is in a "1" weak, and shoots to A strong
Our tackle is in "3" and shoots B strong
Rush is in a "5" and shoots C strong
