We ran a 5-2 in High School and it's probably the best defense ever to stop the old, "Woody Hayes" 3 yards and a cloud of dust days. Yes, I'm from Ohio! Also, you are right in saying it's the same as a 3-5. The difference is the ends never drop into coverage and there only job is outside contain. They will fight to the outside and turn everything back into the middle. Great defense back in the day but you get killed in the flats with the modern spead offenses.... My kids school is running a new offense you would be interested in. I personally love it AND it does have a "MONSTER" in it... Call it a 5-3 or 5-2 with a monster. They run an odd defensive front with two inside linebackers and one monster to the strong side. The monster also covers the flat area. Against run offenses they mostly run it like a 5-3 with the ends fighting to the ouside for contain. They adapt to spread offenses by dropping the ends in coverage at time like a 3-5. The ends must be like small linebackers and obviously athletic. They're school is famous for small, fast, athelets and most famous for their offense "The run-n-shoot". They average 42 points a game! Go Huron Tigers! Great read. We ran a 5-2 in High School and it’s probably the best defense ever to stop the old, “Woody Hayes” 3 yards and a cloud of dust days. Yes, I’m from Ohio!

I would probably spend most of my time in the 4-3 though so I'm not sure if it will be worth the teaching, but it does make you much more versatile. You're right about aggressiveness when not blitzing though! I’ve been considering a sort of hybrid 3-4/4-3 defense that I know a lot of teams are running.

The one thing I really like though about the odd front 3-4 or 3-5 is that adjusting to formations is simplified. At the most, walking out a backer and sliding over inside backers is all that needed. No adjustments to strength necessary. A player can line up head up on the Right Tackle the entire game if a coach so desires. A Defensive Coordinator can also look to play around with positioning players with a variety of calls to get them into the best position possible. It make the defense very simple to install. The most difficult of odd 3 man fronts in my book is teaching aggressiveness when not blitzing!
