and then find a running lane. I am not saying never blitz, but we get too excited about it IMO. The smart strategy with a guy lacking passing skills is to contain the run and force him to make passes.

Blitz less. Assignment sound on run plays. Force Swoopes to put

Agree here. He's a runner and will take off soon as he spots an opening.

There are different blitz packages that would confuse him. Blitz often I say.

Why would we do something like that when we could do something like this?

Blitzing is bad against zone read. You don't want to commit your linebackers
