Georgia Tech linebackers honing blitz techniques

While a frequently used piece in Georgia Tech’s blitzing game, linebacker P.J. Davis finished the 2015 season with two sacks. And while sack totals are only one indicator of effective pass pressure, Davis’ total still helped paints the picture of Tech’s ineffective pass rush in 2015.

Davis and his fellow linebackers have endeavored to do their part this spring to ramp up the Yellow Jackets’ pass pressure.

“It’s always good as a linebacker to be an effective blitzer, so we’ve been working that a lot as far as timing and just coming downhill and being physical and using moves to get off the guards and tackles and get to the quarterback,” Davis said Saturday following the team’s 12th spring-practice workout.
