Film Room: Butler Storms The Dolphins’ Backfield In Win

Keith Butler has had a lot in his bag of tricks during his time in Pittsburgh. His Storm Fire Zone, though, might be his most popular, and effective blitz concept. It produced another splash play against the Miami Dolphins yesterday afternoon.

The Dolphins come out in a 2×2 set early in the third quarter. They align both receivers to the same side, the Z and the X, in what Dick LeBeau called a “slot set” in his playbook.

And the formation checks to the Steelers Storm Blitz, as it outlines in LeBeau’s playbook.
