Should I vent my overhangs on a non-vented roof

I am doing a non-vented roof on my house in Nashville Tennessee. It has large 3′ 6″ overhangs. Should I vent them even though the roof is not?

Not sure what you are asking, but if you are insulating the
roof, rather than the ceiling to create an unvented attic, then venting the overhang would allow outside air to enter the attic. At least with typical construction.
yes ...
you should vent your soffits-continuous if possible, aluminum panels are the best...and most expensive!
Why are you not venting the ridge?
If you're saying the eaves are boxed in and don't "communicate" with the attic area, I'd be inclined to install some small vents -- eg, the circular 2" ones, one or two in each rafter bay.
