I think the TOUGHEST single defense I ever coached against was a version of the 5-3, which was really a "5-1" (with 2 Strong Safeties at the OLB spots, outside 6 tech. DE), as used by Willis White at Salem HS here in Va. It is also ultra-SIMPLE to install & adjust. Could be used with EITHER Cover 3 or Cover 1.
Coach White listed the following as "Strengths of the 5-1 Defense";
1. Can play with much smaller players without stunting a lot.
2. Makes good use of quicker type player.
3. Presents a unique challenge for offenses.
4. Can change up to other looks quickly.
5. Can position itself to fit the offensive formation without running people across the formation.
6. Simple stunts on the inside or outside.
7. Allows simple change-ups in pass coverage.
8. Gave up less that 7 points a game over last 17 years used (& won 4 State Championships).
