Bill McPeak: Bill McPeak

Quotes 

• Bill McPeak : St. Louis is a blitzing team. We've told you all week long and as you've seen in films that we've looked at here from last year. This ball club blitzes 60 to 70 percent of the time. This is high in the NFL. With the only possible exception would be the Bears. They are the only team that blitzes near as much as St. Louis. This is the name of the game. This is the essence of the whole defense. And they do it off a number of different alignments, so we've got to be alert to recognize what those alignments are. Okay, now the only two reminders that you have to be aware of at all times is that we're in our opposite formations, with one brown left or brown right. You've got to key the strong safety. All right, now, when we're in split backs. Split backs, we're using green protection. The only thing we can't pick up off their blitzes is their weak safety blitz. So, on this you watch for the weak safety, and your split end is watching as well. If he comes on a blitz, you come to the split end - on the quick post. It's one of those games, you don't have to use any check offs. You can use all kinds of over, over stacks, under, under stacks, gap defenses. If you try to check off this game, you can spend the whole game masterminding the ball game, so don't use any audibles.

• Bill McPeak : 52 should get it. It should be a penalty against them. Oh, against *us*? Oh.
