[QUOTE="tpbradley, post: 1447103, member: 81087"] I understand the concept of pressure d (I think), but I don't see the purpose of making players put themselves into defensive positions that they can't back up, meaning, why not just let the TJs, GBs (who got burnt several times in the Maryland game) give a little space until their skills develop, while the others smother their guys (bc they can), while also denying the passing lanes? I think the easy layups and blow-bys we see every game are a result of this. And yes, I realize I have no idea what I'm talking about haha. [/QUOTE]
