Re-read your second sentence, the first 5 words.
When you blitz and the opposing team runs a 5 WR spread, you kinda play cover zero.
Linebackers on WR's happen when you blitz.
It's literally what I've been telling people for a while now would happen when you blitz. We don't have the talent to do so. If you want to blitz you better have some really good linebackers and db's. We have one good db, and our only good linebacker died. That good db is incapable of shadowing the best WR on the opposing team. It's easy to create mismatches.
I apologize if you don't know the rules to football, but you can't blitz and magically play cover 2. Was it a great play design? Nope. Was blitzing him PERIOD a good play call? Nope.
This defense can't blitz. It's not built to do so. That shit would only work versus shitty qb's and rookies, not aaron rodgers.
