"We didn't blitz that much"--Bill Parcells

[theogt]

I have a question on that tho. Lets say we ran a 4-3 and Ware is one Outside Linebacker. Lets say Ware's man is a TE who's responsibility is to help block. Wouldn't Wares responsibilty to rush the passer? if so that would make this statement false ?

"Any time that AT LEAST ONE linebacker or defensive back vacates his nomal responsibility in order to pressure, it is a blitz"

Ware typically plays DE in the nickel. There have been a few occasions where he has played LB in the nickel. We don't ever play a 4-3. If Ware is lined up over a TE, his responsibility is to cover the TE, rush up field, or to play the run. If he rushes the passer and four other defensive players are rushing the passer it is a blitz.

Anything to bring a little levity to the board without it being overtly "nasty"

You could start by not using words like levity and overt.

Whew.

My arms are tired from the dictionary.

OTOH, dont you think a call out thread in response to a call out thread is a little shallow and ostentatious?

Let's say Ware eats a cupcake. What is that called?

That's what happens when I get testy.

You mis understood what i said.

If we ran the 4-3 and Ware was the outside linebacker, and we ran man to man the whole game, and his responsibilty is to guard the TE on his side, and his TE always stays to block, then he would be rushing the passer, BUT HE WOULDN'T BE vacatING his nomal responsibility in order to pressure

Let me get this straight.

1. His normal responsibility is pass coverage (cover the TE).

2. He doesn't go into pass coverage in order to pressure the QB (i.e., he rushes the passer).

You're asking whether or not he has vacated his normal responsibility in that situation?

I would think the obvious answer is yes.

The offensive line always has five linemen. Always. By your definition (bringing more defenders than the offense can block), a 5-man rush can never be a blitz. This is obviously false.

What about normal blocking TE's?

What about them? If Ware is rushing the passer and 4 other defensive players are rushing the passer it is a blitz.

I thought blitzed means drunk.

really? like, oh my God

A blitz is like the supreme courts ruling on what constitutes obscene material.

You know it when you see it.

Or something.

UGH

a blocking TE's main responsibility is to help block. So Ware's main responsibilty is to rush him(rushing the passer).

But he wouldn't be vacating his nomal responsibility in order to pressure. because his normal responsibilty is rush the TE.

see what i am saying?

A TE is not an offensive lineman. Ware's first responsibility would always be to make sure that the cupcake has sprinkles.

The problem is that a lot of people thought the were seeing it on Sunday when they really weren't. Many times people automatically think blitz when they see pressure on the QB. People thought we were blitzing like crazy on Sunday but we only blitzed 6 times in the first half.
