BOB vs twist

Coach Joe,

I think that any number of blitzes can be drawn up that will give a team trouble, especially if a defense is going to overload a gap. The only problem with this is that the defense is kind of rolling the dice if they are not putting people in every gap. They might break down your protection on one play, but the next time they run that stunt, you might have called a run play to the vacated gap and bust it for a touchdown.
In general, I think teams that blitz a lot will give most teams some trouble, but they are always capable of giving up the big play. You may go 3 and out and lose 5 yards each play on one series, but on the next you score from 60 yards out on your first play. You only have one good play out of 4, but you have one successful drive out of 2 (pretty successful if you keep it up).

If you saw a team that was running a lot of crazy blitzes inside, I would probably game-plan some more inside gap protections with the backs going to the E.M.L.O.S. and I would look to use some sprint out to get outside of the pocket. Like any team who blitzes, I think screens, draws, and crossing patterns into the vacated areas would have a good chance at being successful.
