The Saints Blitz Better Than Us

*Sigh*

Since we can't do it well, we seriously need to drop back in a nickel zone on 3rd and long. Since teams do go for it out of the Shotgun formation

[Saint J]

Gregg Williams would blitz himself if he could, the best thing about today has been our d-line. they're getting good pass rush and shutting down the run.

Well enjoy this year because it seems no NFC south team can win the division twice in a row. You probably will be at the bottom again next year. But Williams was a great pickup. To bad we didn't getting him.

[Gman was right]

Thats because the panthers never blitz.

[Fox007]

They do much more than just blitz better than us.

The Panthers look like skid marks compared to them.

[Peppers90 NC]

I give them about 5 or 6 more weeks before teams begin to pick their blitzes apart when enough tape is available

[Saint J]

they have to stop the d-line first.

[bigdog10]

Pretty much, although the person I was speaking to doesn't know football, just Jake/Fox/fan bashing

Actually we blitz a lot. We just aren't very good at it.

[Dpantherman]

we blitz, we just never get to the QB. i've seen six guys run toward the QB, and not even get a whiff of the QB.

[Mr. Scot]

Fans love blitzing, but a smart OC can exploit it by going to screens, draws and three-step drops. What you gain in pressure, you lose in coverage.

Generating pressure with only the front four is the best way to go, if you can do it. Truth be told though, if you have to resort to blitzing to get pressure, you likely have issues.

If we got better interior pass rush, I wouldn't give a flying rip whether we blitzed or not.
