FILM REVIEW: Creative blitz leads to strip-sack

Last week’s film review looked at a big offensive play late in the New Orleans game that showed offensive coordinator Jim Bob Cooter’s creativity as a play caller.

This week we flip to the other side of the ball and take a closer look at how defensive coordinator Teryl Austin used the versatility of his players and his creative blitz packages to come up with a huge play in Sunday’s win over the 49ers.

There’s nine minutes left in the second quarter and the 49ers are facing a 3rd and 8 at their own 12-yard line nursing a 14-10 lead.
