[QUOTE="Northeast Stinger, post: 170353, member: 1640"] And I wonder if there is really any objective way to test this? I have not seen any. Two years ago the defense spent a lot of time practicing against the shotgun formation and the diamond formation, much more so than against the Flex Bone. Did it make them better against "conventional" offenses that year? Who knows. We had different personnel and our defensive line was not as thin as it was last year. Or you could compare CPJ's first year at Tech to later years. That first year he supposedly still had a Gailey era defense. The problem there is that the offense that first year tended to put the ball on the ground a lot, if I remember correctly, putting the defense in some tough positions. Of course that would have been better by bowl season but it did not help the defense much. My issue with this argument is that there are other teams that run unique offenses and no one says those hurt those defenses. Likewise there are teams that run very conventional offenses which have lousy defenses. It always feels like pundits are cherry picking the data to reinforce a bias against CPJ's offense. [/QUOTE]
