[QUOTE="vamosjackets, post: 44791, member: 216"] This is still a risk/reward thing for the defense. Why not put a bunch of fast guys on the DL who can all shoot the gaps that fast, and just stand them all up as blitzers? Because then the OL could just maul you straight up and we could run dive or even QB sneak for 7 yards a pop. That blitz isn't going to be good for every play-call our offense has. If we run straight dive, we should be good. If we run jet sweep we should be good. Trap could be very good. If we run TO we should be ok. It's really hurt us on a counter or a speed option where the QB has to do some footwork before the play gets started. Those types of plays became a much bigger part of our offense last year with Vad because that's what he was better at than the TO. But, the OT still has the angle on the blitzer. It's an easy block as the OT just cracks down on him, and the timing thing is important because the OT knows the count and the blitzer shouldn't. Even in the VT clip, the VT guy gets cracked down and driven to the ground, but he got his hand in there and slapped the ball out in the process. Vad actually was able to avoid him, just lost the ball. It was a great play by the VT guy, but also lucky. I don't think it's going to be a chronic problem for us going forward. [/QUOTE]
