first of all, if the bears' line was so terrible, the saints shouldn't have needed to blitz. i read somewhere that gregg williams's defense actually rushes 3 more than any defense in the nfl. second of all, blitzing when you're up a bajillion points in the 4th is just a bitch move and you're trying to hurt people. that's copletely ignoring the fact that bennett was hit in the chest by a helmet and cutler was kicked in the head. The Saints blitzed more than any other team in football last year. yes? i don't see how that stops them from rushing 3 more than any other team. I would be very curious to see your arithmetic on how a defense could lead the league in rushing 3 and blitzing at the same time. Edit: That's strange. This article says the Saints blitzed on a higher percentage of dropbacks than any other team: http://espn.go.com/nfl/playoffs/2011/story/_/id/7446379/2012-nfl-playoffs-san-francisco-49ers-ready-time-blitz-happy-new-orleans-saints I wonder if that stat is based on bringing more than 4 or bringing at least one more than there are men left to protect.
