Teams need to disguise those blitzes. The threat of a blitz. If you blitz the same guys every play, the opps know who to block and can develop blocking schemes. You ought to be tricky.

yeah weird why don't teams just goalline blitz every play, i wonder if there's something to it

What I don't understand is why teams don't just try and jump the snapcount every time when they are on the goal line, there isn't much difference between first and half a yard and first and a quarter of a yard.

You give your opponent free plays every time you get caught offsides. Ocassionally they'll score when you jump the count.

teams with even decent qbs will easily get rid of it for tds. flat routes especially

this. plus plenty of guys are trying to jump the snapcount, its not like its easy to do

smiglet,

come on man

haha, i only pay attention to the most recent posts, i seem to do this to myself a decent amount

smiglet,

that's not what i mean

ok im clearly completely lost so forget it

do you really think i was advocating goal line blitzes on every play

following the initial retort, no

i assumed you were making fun of a previous post which i had not read

the previous post in question is the ridiculous OP

It was obvious I was referring to the finals minutes of the game, while protecting the lead. Most NFL linemen are too fat and unfit to blitz more than a few plays a game.

I've run the 'punt block' play on Madden n00bs over and over
it's funny

You are so terrible at thinking. Like epic bad.

what exactly do you think a d lineman is doing on a blitz that he isn't doing on every other play?

The Blitzkrieg Bop. Extremely tiring, even with a ukele.

Blitzing actually gives up more yards per play than playing standard defense. Mixing it into the gameplan sparingly is good because it keeps the offense from getting comfortable while being more likely to create big plays (at the expense of giving up more big plays). Using it every down when they know it's coming would just get you burned.

I think one of the more entertaining things to watch is D-coaches blitzing a lot and the O-coaches responses. More fun to watch in college though imo because there's less great athletes. Kinda like 3bet-4bet-shove RPS wars...oh snap screen.

i'm the best blitz player ITT (or in teh entire world)

Do you have a link for an unbiased source proving that statement? You don't use the same blitz scheme every play. The team must give different looks. Try to confuse the offensive team. Mess up their blocking assignments.

Look at Brady in 2007. First ten games he had an over 100 rating in nine of them. That was against passive defense. Then on game 11 a team challenged him. Every team challenged him after that. The Pats still won the next eight games. But Brady's stats went down. Play passive, Brady will beat you for sure. Play aggressive, you make a game of it.

Anyone else not know what blitz means?

what about week 14 against the steelers? they blitzed him like crazy and he torched them. 32/46 399 yds, 4td, 0 int no sacks

edit: not arguing that teams can expect to play good pass d w/o getting pressure but it isn't always as simple as sending lots of extra people. of the teams the pats played that year that i know blitz a lot, (others on their schedule might have, i'm just not sure) brady had a decent game (eagles), a bad game (ravens), and an excellent game (steelers). the colts probably had about as much success against the pats as the eagles did and they hardly blitz at all. they gave up half a yard more per attempt and 3 tds to the eagles 1, but forced 2 interceptions also
