    I've been watching youtube video all day studying Brady, the vast majority of his throws are toward the sidelines, and the best way to get to Brady isn't with zone blitz, or 4 0r 5 man fronts - the best way to get to Brady is delay blitz. Let eh initial point of attack happen, then blitz a guy through a hole - kind of how Bell runs the ball.
    I wouldn't even call it a delay blitz - its more like a patient blitz.

    A thing like Deebo lining up on the edge, then at the snap of the ball he stunts toward the center looking for a hole to run through. In this video Clowney is in Bradys grill all day. He came lined up at edge, but got to Brady through gaps.
    Brady loves to work that sideline, and he likes the screen pass. If Gronk isn't there, he rarely throws down the middle of the field.
