Will we ever be a blitzing high pressure team w/ Bielema?

Seemed like we used to pressure the hell out of QB's and forced them into mistakes, beat them up a bit and made them play a little scared.

Against these Bert D's we've seen mid-major QB come in full of confidence and play like they were unstoppable. We've made plenty of QB's look like top tier Heisman candidates when they were only average QB's.

The lack of blitzing in fall camp and the spring handcuffs our OL and doesn't prep them properly to be prepared for the all-out assaults they face in the games.

I'd like to see more aggression when our more athletic players start seeing the field. We seem to be recruiting more speed on defense, I'd like to see that pay off.

We were a high pressure blitzing team in the past, in most of our big boy games it turned out poorly for us.

Blitzing is a gamble. Sometimes it can pay off big but it also creates holes. you have to get to the QB and make a sure tackle otherwise it'll go bad on you.

You think our problems covering are bad now lets play more straight up man to man with less over the top coverage while sending guys from our secondary closer to the line.


We're playing very statistically sound football right now. We do blitz more often when our dline isn't getting to the QB. However we've been making plays only sending our line so why send more instead let the 4 man rush cause havoc while there are still 8 men in coverage.
