3-5, blitz or slant every down?

We are always doing something, slant, stunt, or coverage. We put our game plan in using information that we have concerning plays, formations, and tendencies. We work on stopping five run and five pass plays that they have ran in previous games. What stunts and coverages we use depends on what we are trying to dictate to the offense. Option- who is their best ball carrier? What are they trying to do to you? We go into a game with a handful of stunts and coverages that we think will put our kids in the best position to make plays for that particular game. It is very seldom an all out blitz. In our stunts gaps have to be accounted for. Who is covering the back out of the backfield when we are in man free? Sometimes it is just a slant, sometimes we have backers crossing and the DE's are responsible for a different gap. Very seldom do we ever sit in base and run cover 3.

well if you are slanting, i would think that you would bring the stack or spur off the edge for contain. we run the stack and bring 1-2 or 3 every play. Our defense is small upfront and we have to keep them moving, never 2 gapping. Our defense is the strength of our team. we will run variations of 3 deep with 3 under, 4 under and occasionally 5 under.
