OL hits and sacks - Joe Goodberry

"In American football, a zone blitz is a defensive tactic that sends additional players to rush the opposing team's quarterback, whilst also unexpectedly redirecting a supposed pass rushing player into pass coverage instead.[1][2] This tactic also likely includes zone coverage (rather than man-to-man coverage).[3][4]

Like a conventional blitz, the zone blitz tactic assigns five or more players to rush the quarterback in a single down, rather than the usual four players. However, unlike a conventional blitz, the zone blitz uses players who are initially positioned to rush (for example, the defensive ends) to instead give pass coverage.[2] For example, a zone blitz may involve two linebackers adding to the rush of three defensive linemen, while a fourth lineman unexpectedly moves into pass coverage.[4]"

Hmmm...it says the zone blitz tactic sends 5 or more players to rush the QB, just like a conventional blitz.  So, if a conventional blitz is defined as 5+ rushers and a zone blitz is defined as 5+ rushers, it wouldn't really make sense to count plays where the defense only sends 4 as a blitz, would it?  

There's failings in the Baltimore clips at all levels.  On some plays, the OL gets fooled or beat.  On some plays, there's nobody open.  On some plays, Burrow has open guys and enough time to get the ball.out, but doesn't.  Honestly, what really stands out the most are the assignment errors.  It's not hard to see why Turner got fired.  

Nobody is going to argue that we don't need to improve the OL, but to try and sit there and argue that Burrow wasn't really one of the most blitzed QB's in the league is silly.  We gave up 48 sacks last year.  23 of those were credited to the OL.  25 are split up between the QB, RB's and TE's, and coverage sacks.  We need to get better in all areas.  Come off of TeamSewell for a minute and look at the bigger picture.

Sigh...

Read... send an extra... while doing what?? Dropping a supposed pass rusher into coverage....   

Dude... there is literally video evidence of them calling it a Zone blitz where the CB comes and the DL drops into coverage... that means... 4 guys rush. Other people have even told you... that you are wrong, yet you want to double down on this argument?

Just stop... you can pass off your stats anyway you want... you've been a master of manipulation with them all off-season and I'm sick of your bullshit. 

Starting to question why I stopped ignoring you...which is amazing, in all the years of being on the boards, I've never had to ignore a "fan" of the same team.
