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

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.
