you are right, it is hard to understand your argument.

Clear as day we are top 10 in run defense and pass defense...
ANY kind of "blitz percentage" or "yards per completion" argument is definitely not understood by me... I clearly am an idiot.

Yes, I saw one blitz. Might have missed one or two, but they were not bringing all those blitzes that they used in previous weeks. Tripp might have been a larger argument (after reading back over the thread), he can speak for himself. My argument was more simple; Blache used too many blitzes that weren't working and putting unnecessary pressure on the DBs and giving the QBs easy reads. The numbers are there, 2nd (or so) in the league in blitz percentage going into this week. Today they brought four most of the time and only rushed three a bunch of the time. Good play calling since they have proven that they can't get pressure even by blitzing. McNabb struggled to find open receivers (and made some bad throws and had some key drops).
