I’ve always heard that you don’t blitz the option. Never really believed it, but I’ve heard it a lot.

But I’ve faced enough mediocre one’s to know that, in my opinion, you should take at least one blitz into a game against a Dive Option team.When I wrote Dominating Football Defense with the Zone Blitz, I went through tons of blitz options, and when and how coaches would want to use each one.
