It's like Vic said, do you choose a slow death or a quick one? If I was playing Peyton Manning or Andrew Luck, I would blitz on every play. Why not? If you don't they're just going to take what the coverage gives them and march right down the field. If you're lucky the WR will drop a gimme or run the wrong route so you may force them to punt that way... Kirk Cousins completed 13 straight against us. Luck completed I believe 15 straight against us before finally throwing an incompletion when the receiver inexplicably dropped a catchable ball. We rarely blitz and it's not working. I don't know how any defense can be effective in this day and age of the NFL without blitzing regularly. Not saying cover 0 all out blitz.. but a corner blitz or a blitz up the middle would do wonders.
