The Pass Rush

Damn that’s awful. Smfh, I don’t feel good about this defense towards the end of the year because they do not have good match ups in their favor. The offense are going to have to play out of their minds soon.

We're not making playoffs. The other funny thing about this is we're a top blitzing team as well.

I don’t think we’ve blitzed as much as people think but point still stands that this is a huge concern for the defense.

We were top 3 or 5 in the league in blitz % recently. Cant remember how long ago though.

What makes a blitz a blitz?? 5 or more men rushing the QB??

Edit...………… Never mind.

The question underscores a good point. Pass rush success is more about deception than numbers.

This, and when the secondary is covering as well as ours has lately, it enhances the possibilities of deception with blitzes and/or stunts.
