You are even admitting that there is value from unexpected players rushing the QB, blitz or not.

Hard to say it has no value when you are assigning it value in the same post.

But, could there be a happy middle ground where it is done a bit less? Yes. But there is absolutely value in keeping the r QB guessing snd sending DB’s on a blitz does that.

Definitely not saying it doesn't have value. I'm questioning if the juice is worth the squeeze. It seems that our DBs get caught up in the wash more often than they get home, so if a QB can recognize that and settle himself, there are big chunk plays to be had. I'm asking if presented with 2 choices, blitzing an LB vs blitzing a CB, if neither is going to get there for the sack, is it better(safer) to just blitz the linebacker and leave the corner in coverage?

I think the simplest answer is that the players that are being used on those "exotic" blitzes aren't getting there. If we send a corner or safety blitz and get picked up, someone is going to be running wide open. The blitz is great....when it actually gets there or forces a quick/errant throw. If it doesn't, it's inevitably a big play for the offense. I'd rather Wink limit his blitzes to players that are already among the front seven and leave the DBs out of it. At least that way if the blitz gets picked up, hopefully one of the DBs is within 2 to 3 yards of the receivers that are out on patterns.

Bingo Bango Bongo! We have a winner - the blitz - no matter who is doing it has to be successful or we get gashed.

The problem with this defense is the big plays in the pass game. 1st in 3rd down and 1st in RZ defense is a great place to be. If they can somehow tighten up the long TD plays (Mooney Chase Jefferson come right to mind), the D could take a big step forward.

Bowser's athleticism provides Wink flexibility. Wink uses that flexibility to create doubt and confusion in QBs and OLs. That doubt and confusion leads to QB hesitation and open lanes in the OL.

Wink wants to confuse.
Bowser is Wink's Riddler.

It’s why Wink’s defense needs to be anchored by two good CB’s and the major reason why we’re seeing these big plays with Marcus Peters out this year.

If you send DB’s in to to blitz you have to have corners you can trust in 1-on-1 coverage. We’re seeing the results when you don’t.

Martindale said that people want to focus on sacks but Tyus Bowser is a “weapon that nobody else has.” He was referencing Bowser’s ability to play the run, drop in coverage and rush QB. He said opposing offensive coordinators have told him how much they respect Bowser’s game.

When you have Oweh as your partner on the other side, it makes things much easier for Bowser.
