It depends on who you have, really.

@PAtsDd
I've played in a 5-2 defense before, for one whole season and part of another
It really depends on the personnel
For example, one year we had two 220-pound d-ends who liked to passrush, and we just didn't drop them back. If we needed to switch to a 4-3, we just made our NG play MLB
The second season, we had smaller, containment ends that had formerly been outside linebackers. In that situation, they played contain, or dropped into coverage.

@ChargersLVII well say its five WRS and its 4 DBS and 1 LB u play man 2 man and that means there is a 0ne linebacker free 2 blitz and plus the 0line can't bl0ck a fat n0se tackle and 2 fat DT

ChargerLVII in the 5-2 defense not all the linemen blitz on every play. The ends are responible for containment, and making sure the tight ends don't get out cleanly.

If you've got 5 linemen, why would you NEED to blitz? :P

if you do that the offense knows your linebackers are blitzing and the qb can call an audible to tear apart the secondary
