At the snap - the RE takes an inside rush, the RT drops back into coverage (magnet),the Slot RCB blitzes, the MLB loops the RE on an outside rush, the SS initially covers the Slot Reciever left uncovered by the blitzing CB. NB plays centerfield (magnet in place), rest of secondary and RT drop into zone coverage. LE takes an inside rush, with LT looping. 1st stoppage.

After secondary drops into zones magnet the secondary (if allowed), attempting to cover possible slants/picks using nb over the top. RT acting as LB responsible for draws and slants.

What I am attempting is to pressure QB using drop zone and cb blitz forcing QB to hesitate and stop slants with zone coverage.

What do you think?

The theory sounds good however you must account for how the offense will adjust to it. Are they strong up front? If so then you open you're self up to a draw to counter you're blitz with the DT dropping back.

Magnet are used befor the snap and can not be added ( except the QB ) once the play starts. Magnets are limited to 5 on the defense SS's, DB's, and LB's 5 yards or more away from the LOS.

3 magnets on the offense QB, FB, and RB, or a receiver in motion.
