Wansdatt tried doing that for the Bears and guess what happened? They got roasted.The last D that ran a scheme as blitz heavy as your suggesting was probably the 85 Bears. When we start rolling out 5-7 HoFs on D we can talk. We don't have that talent though. Even Eagles back in the day, known for their blitz packages and aggressive nature, didn't blitz as much as your suggesting.And yes we'd get burned even more then last year. Rushing 5 or more most every play is just a horrible idea on so many levels. Right up there with the idea last year proposed by one poster that we should run a two TE set with Tackles playing the TE spots.I'll say this very clearly. BLITZING ON DAMN NEAR EVERY  SINGLE PLAY, which is what rushing 5 or more on damn near every play is considered, IS A HORRIBLE IDEA. Yes games are won in the trenches. The problem is when your crippling the other parts of your unit to win those battles it has the opposite effect then what your intending</blockquote>
