<![CDATA[We're Number One!]]> .. In defensive blitz percentage. 46% of total passing snaps have included a blitz. Good god almighty.

Live by the blitz, die by the blitz.

It's a start.      I'll beat this point to death - the step to becoming a good/great defense is to limit the opponents run game and make them more one dimensional.  

For all my complaints the Brownies have take a huge step forward in this area and I give a ton of credit to Coach Williams.    Of course it also helps with all the bodies dedicated to attacking the offense and being near the LOS.

But I thought everyone sucked and we weren’t improved at all?

So mainly we're dying by the blitz.

Unfortunately our DE's necessitate blitz's where he'd prob rather just rush 4. And ofc blitzers are primary targets because nobodys like omg i have to watch out for these browns edge rushers. Our edge rushers are not shown much respect by opposing o lines
