His mind races as he surveys the defense. He checks the defensive backs and steps up to the center. He barks the signals, and the line-backers settle into position. With the snap of the ball, chaos erupts. It's an all-out jailbreak as both outside linebackers and a middle linebacker come crashing through the gaps in the offensive line, looking for one thing — blood. *not all positions are shown Of all the ways to intensify the pass-rush by players, other than defensive linemen, the blitz creates the greatest potential for destruction. Blitzes, when at least six people rush the quarterback in an attempt to disrupt the play, are an important part of most college and professional defensive strategies. "The general idea of a blitz is that you are going to send six men," said Mark Farley, Kansas linebackers coach. "It's basically an all or nothing concept. When you blitz, you send six, and I have five players left. There's five eligibles (receivers). I have no extra players, I have to cover all the eligibles. It's all or nothing. There's true man across the board. That's rush on a given play. one true difference between blitzes and pressures, the margin of error. There isn't any." The quarterback doesn't see the blitzing linebackers until just before impact. Then, with a crunch, a blue ier- sey drives him to the ground another kill for the University of Kansas defense. rush on a given player. Linebackers rushing the passer initiate some of the most violent hits on a football field. It can be the source of evil joy for defensive players. Any of the University's four linebackers can pressure the quarterback, and as many as three might Angle Kuhn / KANSAN Kansas, like most teams in the Big 12 Conference, often blitzes with linebackers. Kansas linebacker Hanson Caston said he had the mentality of a eyes when I get ready to hit him. I want to see his expression." Kansas linebacker Pat Brown, on the other hand, is a player who enjoys blind-side shots. "Oh, man, I dream about it, too." Brown said. "It would have to be a quarterback on a naked foot with his back towards me, about to turn around. Then, when he turns around, just wipe him out. That's my dream shot. Just knock the chin off of him, the strap, the helmet on the ground. I'd like to just pick up the helmet and just hold it in my hand." Brown said there was more to go after the quarterback than lining up and attacking. "First, I have to think about the moves I'm going to use on the tackle or guard or tight end," Brown said. "Second, just try to execute that move and get to the quarterback, and just try and light him up. I mean, I'm trying to take the quarterback out of the game and be as fair as possible. But, yeah, I'm trying to make him remember me." When successful, a blitz restricts the quarterback's movement, forces him to make quick decisions and obstructs his view of the field. The blitzers' intention is to hit the quarterback, hit him hard and make sure he is on his back when the play ends. when he went for the quarterback. "I want him to turn around and look right at me," Caston said. "I don't like blind hits. That's some guys ultimate dream, but I want him to look me in my TAKE THIS JOB AND LOVE IT.
