I think we're at the point now where we HAVE to blitz anyway. Our guys can't cover when we give them extra help, they're still giving up big plays, and it's not gonna get any better, barring a light bulb coming on. Let's try to get after the quarterback. Clearly we get beat if he has time to throw, so let's get exotic with our blitzes, see if we can't disrupt some rhythm. We're getting beat for big plays anyway, so let's get aggressive, see if we can't create some of our own. Like cland said, I think we're gonna be blitzing a lot up the middle, especially in indy. Okoye was dominant in week 1 getting to that A gap and getting penetration. He was in Manning's lap all day, and that game was never in doubt. Let's maximize the formula. Take away his room to step up into the pocket, and he makes errant throws. Get the pressure by any means necessary, maybe we luck into a couple confidence-inspiring ints by the corners, and we can start getting this D turned around so we can make the push we all know we've got in us!
