Apparently Jones has been stellar vs blitz this year, did not see it broken out by success for zone or man though.

Just posted this on another thread. Can also vouch for that podcast, not the usual fluff you get from the major outlets. Not just this pod but week in and week out.

Yup. Best there is. I've learned so much about offensive and defensive schemes just by listening to their podcasts.
