Except of course, for those times when the opposing team's OC anticipates your blitz, calls a play with a short 3-step drop for his QB with a quick release and your blitzing wonders are staring over their respective shoulders as the OC's speedy receiver streaks to the end zone for 6.

Yeah, as usual when you blitz, it worked ... for the offense on the other team.

Duh? You kinda sorta need to know when to blitz and when not to blitz. Saban confused the hell out of Tebow in the first quarter when on 3rd and long he only rushed 2 and dropped 9. Result? 4th down and punt.

Blitz, blitz, blitz, blitz all the time will get you the record for the most yards per play allowed against your defense. What makes the blitz so damn effective is in having a DC who knows how to design 'em AND when to call 'em. Period.
