The Power of Four
Bit of a late slip on this one, but Andy Benoit of NFLTouchdown.com has a story on the importance of generating a pass rush without blitzing, with a sprinkling of data from ourselves on which teams were most and least likely to rush four.

Zone blitz FTW!
Color me unimpressed. For some strange reason the article does not use the words "zone blitz" while describing the scheme.
And, Eli Manning is a stud!
Also, Jared Allen did not join the Vikes in 2001.
Re: The Power of Four
I'm afraid Captain Obvious had a big hand in this article.
Yeah, if I can send ROBO-END at the QB, I'd have 10 guys in coverage.
But rushing 5 still leaves 6 players in coverage. 4 on the receivers and 2 deep if you want to. Or cover 1 with a rover. Same difference, depends on the down.
And all this is neglected within the 20 yard lines, where safeties have such a different job and the linemen have to respect the run and short pass much more.
Re: The Power of Four
I can't believe you passed up on ROBOLB instead of ROBO-END.
Re: The Power of Four
I would have gone with ROBODT. If I could build a ROBODT army I could conquer the football world.
Re: The Power of Four
I'd put my ROBORG up against your ROBODT any day. And with my ROBOLT neutralizing the ROBO-END, I could send my ROBOTE out to destroy your ROBOSS.
