re: Pelini's Safety Blitz - How Come We Stopped Using It?

I love me some FS blitz and we used this quite effectively with LaRon and Chad Jones while Pelini was DC (recall how LaRon crushed Croyle in '05, the Zona QB in '06, JPW in '06, and Chad caused a fumble vs Bama in '07).
Does Chief just not have this shot in his bag or is there some other reason we no longer try it? I know LaRon was an incredible athlete (sub 4.4 40) but don't we have guys as fast as Chad?
I guess nowadays, all of LaRon's would probably get a non-football related penalty.
I think your biggest problem here is, you don't recognize a "safety blitz" unless something really big and splashy happens because of it.
For example, Chavis blitzed Eric Reid many times during his career here, many of them "run" type blitzes. I could give you many examples but your time would be better spent elevating your football acumen.

Chavis uses his safeties in blizting off the edge very well. But I don't recall Reid, Loston, Taylor blitzing like LaRon did while Pelini was DC.
Stats seem to corroborate this.
