5-2, fire zone 2, base align, blitz line backers, press, hard flat, spread d line, shuts down any run pretty much
That is quite risky against the pass, though, but against goal line formation I bet it is effective.
I mix in cover 2 and 3 aswell. The cover 2 play works well against the run aswell, with that I do the same thing except I reset the line backer coverage so it looks like I’m blitzing and then the 2 LBs and DE drop into zones. Messes people up. It’s rare I need to come out of 5-2 in a game. I always base align so the cover 3 looks like a cover 2. Between those 3 plays and a couple of other blitz plays I manage to cover most things.
