So far, Eagles' blitz has been potent

As we – and many others – have frequently pointed out since he was hired as the Eagles’ defensive coordinator last year, Jim Schwartz is not a big blitz guy.

Jim Johnson he ain’t.

He’s a terrific defensive coach, but he prefers to primarily attack quarterbacks with a four-man rush rather than going all Tora! Tora! Tora! every other play.

During the 16 years he’s been either an NFL head coach or in charge of his own defense, his units usually can be found in the bottom tier of the league as far as blitz frequency.
