The book on blitzing Brady



We won’t see Gregg Williams’ game plan until Monday night,champions league shirts, but it’s a pretty safe bet the New Orleans defensive coordinator is going to send a lot of blitzes at the New England Patriots.That’s Williams’ style. According to ESPN Stats & Information,euro shirts, the Saints have sent five or more rushers more often than any team in the NFL except the Jets. The Saints have sent five or more rushers on 49 percent of their defensive snaps (the Jets have blitzed on 57.9 percent of their plays).New Orleans has had lots of success with the blitz. In those situations,new england shirt, they’ve held opposing quarterbacks to a league-low 53.2 completion percentage and a league-low 57.8 passer rating.But New England’s Tom Brady isn’t like most quarterbacks. Against five or more rushers, he’s completed 65.1 percent of his passes with a 103.7 passer rating while throwing for eight touchdowns and one interception.
