[QUOTE="Dayman, post: 1261692, member: 177333"] [b]Pack line defense[/b] I know some teams with better athletes can get away with this but I just don't see why this is our defensive system. If you have long athletic studs or play in the MAC it works but when your players are not long and athletic and you play in a major conference it doesn't work. We don't double team the guy with the ball but also don't stay close to the guy we are guarding. We are somewhere in between, forced to close out constantly which is why we are best off the dribble so often. TJL is the only guy who got hands on passes. Deny passing lanes and if someone can't guard one on one keep subbing until you find 5 that can. [/QUOTE]
