goal line defense to stop the run?

Has anyone tried this to stop the run on one of those players that almost exclusively runs? I thought of it when I had only a few WL games left so I tried it then plus a few HR games and seasons games today to see how it works out. Based on what I see so far I like it better vs 1 WR formations but I also ran it vs 2 WR obvious run formations.

I mainly tried the 5-4-2 sam blitz which is basically 5 DL plus your 2 OLBs on the line, your 2 MLBs a few yards off the ball, and your 2 safeties playing CB. The 2 MLBs and one OLB are in man coverage on the TEs and RBs and the safeties are lined up in press man coverage on the WRs if there are 2 and if there is only 1 WR then the other safety just covers the extra TE. 

My safeties are PU Dawkins and Tillman which left me too weak in coverage so I subbed in Denzel Ward for Dawkins who is great in MCV and speed so I thought he would be a good fit for what I needed.It also seemed like leaving the corners in press man with no help over the top was asking for trouble so I used the back off adjustment (or whatever it's called) to make it harder to just run a streak. My user was the MLB covering either the FB or HB, and I set the CB matchup by speed adjustment so Ward could be covering the most dangerous WR.
