Blitzing Brady is a dangerous proposition. If you cannot get pressure up the middle, he will eat opposing defenses for lunch. Brady's quick release is a blitz killer. The reason why the Giants had success against Brady in the Super Bowl is because they got pressure up the middle which neutralized him from stepping up in the pocket to avoid the blitz that he does masterfully. With pocket passers like Brady and Manning, outside blitzes aren't usually effective because they can still step up in the pocket. You need to collapse the pocket to neutralize them.
Talking about cheap shots..There were a ton in the Giants game..one would have thought that Coughlin might be talked to...since it was a lot..but then again Goodell wears NY colors so...not happening..The only thing I'm worried about re: Brady is a late or cheap hit - - especially given who now coaches the NY Jets.
Well duh...
If you blitz with less personel than the Oline but still able to get penetration then it would allow you to have extra players back to cover zones.
Brady, Belichick should brace for blitzes
Heh....

Blitz is by definition sending 5 or more players, so it is impossible to blitz with less personnel than the OL.
Ding, Ding, Ding.Right, which makes me ask -- were the Giants really blitzing constantly in that SB? Or were they just getting pressure with their great defensive line?
