We haven't been blitzing as many people as we have the past two years. They may say we blitzed 60% of the game, but sending 5 is blitz (one LB) The first couple of years GW would send 6 to 7 guys, forcing quick throws or dump offs. I think we have to get back to that. We are allowing teams to read their progressions and deliver the ball. If they are forced to throw quickly, the corners, LB's will only have to cover for 1 to 3 seconds instead of the 4 seconds they are with the limited pressure. I think going into the colts game, we have to send A TON pressure. Manning can be rattled into bad throws. (look at the games he is hounded all day) Plus, I think the corners need to play up on the WR. get a good jam, to throw the timing off. Colts are all about timing. if we send 6 to 7 guys, jam the receivers at the line I think we can get some 3 and outs and maybe a pick by a LB> If you play scared against the colts they will eat us up. We have to bring the pressure to them, especially if Joe and Grif are out.
