Even with dropping the DT (hands?) anyone who blitzes me on a slant deserves to give me 10 yards.
Man with a high AWR and Man coverage 3-3-5 will kill the slants. The DB will run the route as good or better as the WR and you will never be able to complete the pass. The counter to this is a draw. I have completed many successfull drives alternating those 2 plays over and over for 5-15 yards per play.
