I was looking at blitz rates and stumbled across what I think sums up our defensive issues this season.I honestly didn't know that the Bengals defense has forced the most third downs so far this season.
Currently we have the lowest blitz rate in the whole league,here's the top nine blitzing teams and percentages of the time they blitz..
Cards-38.1%
Browns-37.8%
Ravens-35.8%
Titans-30.4%
Jets-30.3%
Steelers-30.1%
Broncos-30.1%
Texans -27.8%
Vikings-27.8%
Teams with the lowest blitz rates..
Bengals-11.5%
Colts-13.1%
Eagles-16.3%
Chiefs-16.3%
Lions-16.8
Austin has to incorporate the blitz more than 11.5% of the time, it's to predictable of an approach,I wouldn't even waist time on preparing for blitz pressure when game planning the Bengals...
