For the Giants game, it was 11 blitzes on 44 drops. For a total of 8 pressures.
So 25% of drop backs were blitzed. I think that's a little less than Allen's past average. Any idea what it was against the Raiders? I think it looked like even less than against the Giants.

Its probably low.
Blitzing requires good CB's as it will leave them on an island and after Breaux's injury its likely we blitzed less the second game than the 1st.
These are professional football players, these CB played in blitz heavy defenes in highschoo, and college this is nothing new to them we need to stop acting like these guys have never played the game before, these kids have been playing football there entire lifes why do you think they come into the league (rookies) and understand the playbook by opening day...its terminology thats different not the scheme.
We have Robertson, Vacarro, Bell, Byrd, Ellerbe (when healthy) that DA uses to blitz and the CB play over the top as the scheme forces the QB to make quick decisions and allows the DB's to drive on the ball as the WR is always in front of them.

The Raiders and Giants used the short passing game pretty heavily to counter expected blitzing. We have no answer for the short passing game. How can any pressure be effective blitzing or otherwise if you can even limit that attack against you?
