We don't disguise blitze's worth a crap and it's easy for the opposing QB to read and exploit. After the game Blache said that players would be in certain positions so as not to give away what they were doing, but Manning would go to a double snap count. During the first snap count, the players would move into position when they thought the ball would be snapped and Manning, seeing what they were going to do, would go into another snap count aware of what was coming. This seems to be a discipline problem with maybe not holding your position long enough but didn't we have the same problem last year? Blache seems to get a little exasperated with what seems to me to be legitimate questions. I'm starting to get a little exasperated by some of his schemes and excuses about why things didn't work.

Bingo. A sure sign of a charlatan if you ask me. If you want to watch a real defensive coordinator at work watch the Jets play (or put on some tape of the Redskins in 2004 or 2007). So glad that shotgun was so effective in convincing Blache to unretire. Now the dude won't go away and he's armed.
