[QUOTE="Dantés, post: 800329, member: 12283"] I know before the season that Pettine said his scheme is flexible in the sense that he can give the appearance of complexity to an offense while the execution of the defensive play call is actually very simple. Additionally, he mentioned being able to put a lot of mental complexity on players who are ready to handle it, while keeping it simple for other guys. Those things are true to one extent or another of any defensive scheme, but it seems to be that Pettine is being particularly effective at managing those aspects of his job. Blitzes themselves are not really that complex from a player's perspective. Any player can memorize the call, know what call has them blitzing, and carry out their role. An entire mass of players at the LOS, with some dropping and some rushing appears very complicated to us as fans, but it isn't necessarily. What gets complex for players is being asked to key on certain elements of the offense and react based on those keys. Rather than having a role to carry out, knowing it before the play, and executing, you have to rather assess after the snap, react, and do so quickly enough (and in unison as a unit) for it to be successful. I can't begin to say how complex the roles are that are being given to individual players right now, but I would guess that most of the time, they know their job pre-snap and they do it, and as a result we're seeing far fewer blown coverages this season.
