3-3-5 , 4-2-5 all out blitz

Hey Bomber, if you get a chance to read this post, I am dying to know how these all out blitzes work in the new formations, are they a better run defense than blitzing defense? I saw these blitzes in Prima,

I also forgot to ask, can you run either the 3-3-5 or 4-2-5 as your base defense for the whole game? Meaning are the plays that good enough.

I gotcha covered :). On the All American level with default sliders your defense will be down right nasty. I had my first shutout using only the 4-2-5 and the 3-3-5 Stack defense. The 3-3-5 zone blitz works great against the cpu on this level. You can't automatically throw the ball over the middle this year. You have to watchout for dropping defensive linemen into coverage. The 3-3-5 Stack Mid Blitz works very good against the run and I use it when I see the offense will send 5 wide receivers on the field. You can't see what formation the cpu sends on the field just the personnel. I think you'll enjoy using the defenses as your base. One other good point the two strong safeties will adjust their alignments based on formation. If the offense comes out in run formation, the two strong safeties will adjust accordingly.
