Running a 0-7 defense?

SO i want to run a 0-7 defense, 7 LBs with 3-5 blitzing every play. I think this could be a good defense against younger OL. It will confuse them onto who to block. Th biggest issue im having is i dont like zone. For this defense to work most of the LBs have to be in zone. I tried using Man, but all i come up with is plays that will beat the formation. Has anyone else experimented with this formation, saw it run (which teams) or ran in in Madden? I will implement it this season, i coach youth football, if i can get it finalized.

    What's the run defense?

    At some point an opponent will move the ball running, its a gamble to blitz every down.

    A pass attack based on short and quick throws could defuse that as well.

    You have a scheme, but I wouldn't employ it full time.
