We are debating the stance for our "d' ends in our 5-3 defensive scheme. Some coaches want our kids in a two-point, while others want them in a 3-point. We want the ends to be responsible for "c" gap and have the QB on Option. What do you other coaches think?

When you say d end in a 50 front are your ends the two inside dt or the two outside olbs.
Who plays c gap and who has qb on option really depends on you front alignments. Are your three inside players head up or on shades. This makes all the difference when getting a answer.

We align them in a 4,0,4 technique.The "D" ends line up on an outside shade,our 7 technique, or head -up, our 6 technique

My sense is that stance is somewhat dictated by the ability of the DE relative to the TE. If the DE is strong enough to maintain an anchor on your outside shade and not get pushed out, then the upright stance is good for him to control and read/squeeze the TE and see the QB come down the line. If the DE cannot hold up, then put him in a down stance to maintain pad leverage on the blocker first, and probably will get off the ball quicker, then see in to the backfield action.

Are you having the DE squeeze down the TE to the C gap, then playing the outside bounce, or is the frontside tackle a 2 gapper who flows C gap on plays TO, while DE plays D gap and contain?

Unless you have a Jervon kerse type DE, put them in a 3 is my vote. #1- way to easy to block in stand up mode, imo. #2- affords the Sam and the SS a much better look at the ball. If they are running the OS Veer on you, what your calling a 7 tech. (to me that is the inside shoulder of the TE) he needs to be in a 9 tech.(outside shoulder) and a stand up crouch is quite all right ,imo, as he can only do 3 things to a QB. He can play hard and force the pitch by the QB right now. He can play soft and attempt to string it out. He can go straight to pitch and the Sam now has QB responsibility. In a stand up crouch, he can beat the TE every time,or should be able to, in a stand up mode. If he is the EMLOS, he is the only read the QB is making in the outside veer and that means he is unblocked. The TE will arc release and head up field to his block (SS or SAM in most instances) The TE does not want to engage him and cause a fuzzy read by the QB in any way, so he is free to stand and come with his ears laid back.
