I wonder if zone-blitzing will come back into vogue.
I know it was big for a couple of years, until teams realized that DEs in coverage is usually a bad idea. However, if you go into a nickle package with guys like Houston and Hali as your DEs, you could absolutely sprint those guys out into coverage and do some exotic interior/corner blitzing to really throw things into complete chaos.
I don't think you'll get back to those Carolina Panthers defenses that utilized the lineman zone-blitz scheme as a primary option, but I wouldn't be shocked to see them out of sub packages more often.
