What happened with that type of stuff? No more?

I've seen at least 8 DB blitzes from Hayden, Church or Gipson this season.  They've also sent Telvin and Jack at times. 

I've also seen the safeties completely switch roles at the snap or radically change the coverage they are showing pre snap many times. 

Am I just the only one seeing this stuff?

Edit: Skimming through some defensive plays for blitzes and such and I'll list them here. A running list as I don't have time to skim every game right now.

3rd quarter vs Giants :  Gipson DB blitz on first down
A few plays later:  Telvin blitzes up the middle
A few plays later:  They send five with Jack attempting to free Yannick on an inside stunt
1 min left in third:  They send five again - Jacobs the extra man this time
-- I'll stop there for that game as they are getting good pressure with four and did in fact play a decent amount of man coverage --

New England:
1st Q 13.30 - Sent 5 (Jack)
1st Q 0:32    - DB blitz (Harrison)
2nd Q 8;32  - DB blitz (Church)
3rdQ 4:50  - DB blitz (Hayden)
4thQ  14:54  5 man blitz (Telvin)

More on Thursday...

Lol. Thanks man.  No need for more,, I was seriously just asking. 

In my area, I've only been able to watch a couple games.  I follow along the best I can on the Gameday threads.  I see the highlights afterwards (admittedly though, the highlights of last week's game was basically just a blooper reel of the offense). 

I finally got rid of Sunday Ticket after nearly twenty years.
