Breakdown of Ryan's blitz scheme

Rich Cimini has a good, layman's terms breakdown of the Jets' blitzing schemes last game.

3-man rushes -- 3 (2-for-3, 34 yards)

4-man rushes -- 17 (10-for-17, 84 yards)

5-man rushes -- 16 (6-for-13, 48 yards, 1 INT, plus two sacks, 1 QB scramble)

It's impressive that the Jets generated such intense pressure and still be able to keep six guys in coverage the entire game. Very impressive. I'm sure Rex Ryan held something back for the Patriots, but it's hard to see what. He used blitzes up the middle and on the outside, overload blitzes, and delayed blitzes, and that was just with five guys. And no Shaun Ellis or Calvin Pace.
