Dick LeBeau’s Fire X blitz: Like Tom Selleck’s mustache, it’s been around forever, everyone loves it, and no one quite understands how it works.
We’ve documented the concept several times in the past, including devoting a Chalk Talk to it, but the focus has always been on the blitz itself. We’re going to touch on that again today, but we’re also going to pay special attention to the coverage in the back end. And the amazing consistency LeBeau has maintained while making this an effective wrinkle.
I mentioned it on the video but the beauty of these Fire Zones is the ability to send five, get pressure, and still have six in coverage.
