When to Use 5-2 Formation

Halt Quarterbacks and Running Backs as Quickly as Possible

The 5-2 formation is a short-yardage specialized formation made up of 5 defense linemen and 2 linebackers.

The stacking of frontal defense is meant to sack the QB or take down the RBs, a.k.a. the HBs, as quickly as possible, especially when the Offense only needs to move forward a few yards.
