[QUOTE="Deleted member 654622, post: 1418064"] I don't agree with this. Fundamentally football is a question of who can score more points. It may not be the old age way of thinking but that is what it is. I liken it to baseball now vs 20 years ago. Take big swings, regardless of the count, because a homerun is a hell of a lot more valuable than a single or walk. High risk, High reward. Allowing a team to dink and dunk down the entire field just for that one opportunity to get a take away when the other team makes a mistake is high risk. The reward is short field position requiring less movement to score. This defense will never be a brick wall. That is not what it is designed to be. Therefore we should not be judging them on being said brick wall. [/QUOTE]
