Use a zone defense, put four lineman on the line and manually blitz a linebacker. Works best with dime or nickel (Cover 2 with Nickel and 3 Deep Safe in Dime -- from either of those defenses, you can manually blitz the LB from the side with frequent success, the LB only leaves a small hole in the middle that your safety will usually collapse on quickly if they throw to a short slant). Even if you don't get a sack, any time you hurry the QB, he'll throw an interception or bad pass. You will give up some completions on slants underneath, but usually for less than 10 yards. Be careful that you get some sort of pressure, because a danger with zone is that if the QB gets enough time and the receiver runs a streak, only a safety will be left to guard him, so you can get screwed.
