previous posters are all pretty much right, depends on the situation.

In general you want to press, but depending on your slider set (DB/WR interaction) and corners this can be borderline useless against elite receivers. Standard depth and hope to make the tackle on the slant or in. If you play as the FS or SS, you have a little more control in stopping short routes as you can kind of roam the center of the field.

I generally let me level of desperation determine how aggressive I play when blitzing . When you can't seem to interrupt the flow of an offense (kurt warner has completed 10 straight passes pops up in between plays...) or need a big stop = more blitzers, at the line in gaps, and press, etc.
