I went through all the defensive snaps and counted how many people we rushed at Tampa Bay. I didn't keep track of field position per play, I just didn't have it in me to do it when I started and now I regret it because that's probably an important factor.
Sometimes, on run plays, it's really hard to tell who was blitzing and just not on the line of scrimmage and who diagnosed a run play quickly and stepped up to fill a hole. I had to use my judgement on these plays as to who was blitzing and who wasn't.
Also - it's impossible to tell around the goal line, I did the best I could. You'll see in some spots I just didn't even try...
If anyone wants to throw these in excel and do further analysis based on down and distance, or match them up with the play log on field position, I'll add it to the original post (with credit of course!), or just post a link to your post in the original Post. My head hurts too much to do anymore
So here's my notes

Number of times we sent 5: 7
Number of times we sent 6: 3
Number of times we sent 7: 1
Number of big plays we gave up by how many we rushed (big play defined as 10 yards or more gained)
Number Rushed - Number of big plays given up
4 - 1
5 - 5
6 - 3
7 - 2
========================================
what i noticed in watching:
we never once sent just our 3 down linemen.
kerrigan was almost exclusively a blitzer
we didn't have very many negative plays
the two halves are very similar except for the huge different in how many times we sent 5 - there were obviously fewer players in the 2nd half.
We give up the least big plays when we rush 4, the most when we rush 5.
edit: added the big plays part.
