As TNT mentioned there are several ways to stop slant routes. When playing Man, it is essential to shade the receiver to the inside. When shading, you can shade left or right and it is from the vantage point of the CB. If you send pressure and the coverage is good, the QB will most likely be sacked or heavily pressured disrupting the throw. What I do sometimes is when calling 2 man under, I will put my LBs in hook zones forcing the QB to throw it into a very small window. Like TNT said, be careful selling out on it as you can give up big plays elsewhere.
