[QUOTE="TromboneJacket, post: 383910, member: 2580"] I think an aggressive defense works best for the players we can get. When we’re not physically outmatched and able to take a lead, the bend-don’t-break can be effective (see vpisu 2016) because it works well against an offense that has to take risks. In fact, Ted Roof’s vanilla defense would have likely served us well in 2011 and 2012 when most teams we faced used a pro-style offense. However, now that teams like unc and dook use high-tempo spread offenses, we need to get our defense off the field quickly or they will be spent by the 4th quarter. Additionally, our offense has been more up-and-down in recent years than in the first five years of CPJ’s time at Tech. Thus we need to field the best defense we can regardless of whether it complements the offense. As we saw this season, it’s not enough for the defense to provide the offense an opportunity to seal the game; they have to be able to weather the storm without relying on help from the offense.
