Steelers might blitz their way out Super Bowl XLIII


New post on TotalProSports.com, check it out:
Anyone who has ever read Tuesday Morning Quarterback on ESPN, is well aware of the mantra “stop me before I blitz again.”
TMQ’s theory being that teams blitz too much, and, logically, when you blitz you have less players in your defensive backfield, therefore it is easier for the other team to complete a pass, and extend the drive with a first down.
The ideal offense against a blitz is a pass-first offense, with big wide receivers that can break tackles and get yards after the catch, and running backs with good hands to catch the ball out of the backfield.  Essentially a west-coast offense, with a ton of receiving options and a quarterback who knows who to dump the ball off to.
