The 1-5-5 Defense, how to counter it?

What is the philosophy of the 1-5-5 defense is it primarily
a run or pass designed defense? Which
route types can neutralize this defense? The blitz package for the 1-5-5
appears to be completely unstoppable. Can someone please give me advice on how
to be successfully against this defense? Where are the weaknesses on this
defense? Which formation type works best against this defense?

i try and post this and know will give usrraight asnwers its a lost cause its the closet thing to a glitch u can bring 3 or 4 n soemtimes ppl wil lcoem untouched its stops the run amzzing n passign against it is a sin i jus either run a pitch whic hosmes times work but rarely

well the 1-5-5 is a heavy blitz package, i mean it has the same basic coverages, cover 1, 2, 3, 4, and alot of zone blitzes. try running it right up the gut or like bigbang said, tosses and pitches work, try running some play action. also, run 4-5 wide set and switch the 2 closet recievers to you on slants to the inside. if its a blitz or gonna be set up well.

im gonna be a big help. i run the 1-5-5 all the time. the biggest problem i have is trying to stop the rollout. it really depends on the person your playing with 1-5-5. i found that if people run out of passing formations and pass out of running formations it is hard to stop with the 1-5-5.

if you notice the linebackers start squirming around before the snap. the other player has no control over the shifting when they do that they do that on their own.

alot of 1-5-5 people will use prowl. if they dont then there is only one safety and that leaves the deep pass wide open.

typically people will blitz on running downs so you should look for PA passes, but DO NOT DO A PA PASS IF YOUR NOT IN A RUNNING FORMATION. the 1-5-5 has a lot of nanos and just gives the backers an easier target for the sack.

if you find the D is starting to run a F@G defense than just run right at them. some times you can break one if they blitz, but i would only try if you have a fast strong RB.

Lemme know if this helps.

If you wanna practice against it my PSN is lilshep62. ill be happy to help you.
