The Big Cat Posted October 4, 2013 Posted October 4, 2013 I've noticed Nikell Robey gets dialed up on a lot of blitzes, more so than the other DB's. Who takes over those duties when Gilmore, Byrd and Brooks are back? Because Robey's not that good at it.
DefenseWinzChampionshipz Posted October 4, 2013 Posted October 4, 2013 (edited) My guess is it would be Brooks. Robey is quick but can't really get close enough to the QB... Brooks is just as fast and stronger... I doubt coach dials up a blitz for Byrd at all... Gilmore may see some action in blitzes also but my guess is Brooks and Robey will have the most opportunities... Edited October 4, 2013 by DefenseWinzChampionshipz
FluffHead Posted October 4, 2013 Posted October 4, 2013 It's more a function of the fact that he is playing the nickel. You rarely see an outside corner blitz because it takes so long to get there
Over 29 years of fanhood Posted October 4, 2013 Posted October 4, 2013 I think whoever is playing nickel DB or I guess more generally who ever is line up over the slot, is the blitzer. With a healthy depth chart, guessing Brooks?
