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.
That was the nickel back blitzing. We literally do that all of the time.

Haven't reviewed all the instances I listed but the '06 blitz vs Bama LaRon was at FS (about 12 yds off the line) when the ball was snapped. He wasn't the nickel back.

No, the blitzes referred to in the OP are cover 0 blitzes from the free safety.
Miles wasn't ever a fan of the cover 0 blitzes, one of the reasons why the 08 year was so bad, as soon as Pelini left, Miles had Malveto take all the cover 0 blitzes out. Basically all we did that year was run zone blitzes and it became very predictable.
