Ryan sent 26 blitzes after Luck on Sunday, eventually backing off once the game wasn’t close.
Now the devil is in the detail as he explained in the article, something I noticed too yesterday: virtually all the blitzes are from the middle. They don't want to let Luck being able to step up in the pocket, even though the blitz does not produce many sacks.
Guess what, next week when the Pats coming into town, Tom Brady is even more so depended on the pocket and being able to step up. Brady is not going to do any throws on the run or away from the pocket. From the outside looking in, I have to say it will be similar blitzing in the middle against Pats rookie interior. But Brady has Gronk and his game is more of 5, 6 yard pass RAC variety. So it will be harder to disrupt his rhythm and timing.
The Bills will have Dareus back. It will be interesting to see what Rex uses Dareus. Just remember last year, Schwartz's 4 men rush didn't really stopping Brady .
