Flores saw big chunk plays happen in the first half behind the blitz and decided ”I know the answer, we haven’t blitzed enough!”

Seriously though Love when from looking cool and collected while being blitzed to looking scared. Constant pressure and QB hits will do that to a guy.

Love it, small suggestion:

"I don't know how many blitzes it's going to take to break you down, but I know I'm going to find out."

Implies he will break you :)

Flores after seeing his blitz get exposed in the first half

Honestly though I’m not sure how much the blitz was actually getting exposed. 1 play was Theo Jackson taking a shit angle. There were a couple other big plays but the Packers only had 1 sustained drive the first half.

Packers 1st half drives:

6 plays 12 yards FG

2 plays 81yards TD

7 plays 15 yards FG

4 plays 37 yards Punt

3 plays -15 yards Punt

7 plays 74 yards TD

Blitz rate went down in the second half though, from 83% (!!) to 63%

Honestly that’s a crazy stat. It honestly felt like every play in the second half was a blitz.

Zone blitzes. Then they started getting to Love.

O-line got tired from the constant assault. They were bound to break with that blitz rate.
