[QUOTE="ilovetheoption, post: 389329, member: 1414"] You get a doubleteam, and perhaps still one that's harder to execute because of hesitation. FWIW, I'll say this now before the season: Sometimes, being a riskier defense means you're going to get gashed. Every now and then, an offense is going to guess right a lot in one game, and light GT up. The very best offenses are probably going to be able to take advantage of you being risky and punish you. The defense will probably cost the team at least one game this year, just by being risky. The thing is, the very best offenses were going to beat you if you were more conservative, as well. I don't need a scheme to be perfect. Bud Foster's scheme isn't perfect. He leaves his corners on an island and dares you to beat them one on one. Some teams can, and they light up VT. The thing is, MOST teams can't. If you've got an opportunity to have a schematic advantage MOST of the time, you go with it, and worry about the margins later. GT isn't in the business right now of having NO flaws. That's who GT is. It's not who GT is going to be. If GT gets to the point where they're winning 9 or 10 games every season, and they just can't get QUITE over the top and make the playoffs because the scheme is too risky, you can worry about that, then, but that's not an issue at the moment. I actually really respect Foster's model. Be aggressive, have an advantage more often than not, and get 3 extra wins and 1 extra loss a season. With those 2 bonus wins, build recognition and excitement, and recruit a little better, and get a 3rd bonus win a season. With 3 bonus wins a season, suddenly the picture is a LOT different. [/QUOTE]
