DIAZ BLITZ FILM STUDY
See Link. Specifically asked Codutti to break down the popular 3rd down concept where Diaz crammed 7 or 8 guys near the LOS and had a guy v. guy left for the opposing team's WRs, with the DBs lined up like 8 or 10 yards off the ball. On TV it often looked like a pure Zero Blitz/Cover 0 look, but usually wasn't. Of all the new, aggressive things Diaz brought to the table last season, it feel like fans had a true love-hate relationship with this look....so we put it under the microscope. Personally, I love Diaz's aggressive nature, but where do you draw the line? Often felt this look was TOO MUCH...and that it would bully teams like Rutgers and Central Michigan but that it gave good offenses an easy escape on downs and distances that should be advantageous to the defense.
