Oh CP has been screeching about zone blitzes every time they don't work since the dawn of the board, I believe.
Yeah, when they bust, they look awful. And they're not something to be used frequently (or with a real pattern).
But they can really !@#$ a young quarterback up something awful and it's funny as hell when they go to script.
