[QUOTE="YlJacket, post: 244930, member: 2784"] I don't get the link between style of offense we play and the style of defense we should run? In my simple little mind you run the style of defense that best fits the talent you have and is tailored to the opponent you are playing. :confused: In that context I can see us being more aggressive / blitzing given that our DLine doesn't get a ton of pressure on their own but I don't really get the posts that say we should have blitzed Mercer more and in the same post lament we couldn't stop a screen game. Want to see a screen game really take off - blitz into it :eek: IMHO both BC and Mercer had offenses that were going to have trouble making long scoring drives. They didn't have the ability to put 10 or so plays together without making errors/incomplete passes/penalties/whatever. I was struck at halftime CPJ said to the TV guy that we had to put more pressure on BC in the second half. Early in the second half BC ran a power play into a run blitz, we missed one tackle and he was gone. Bend but don't break can be really frustrating to watch - and works a whole lot better if you can get turnovers the way we did on the way to the OB. Also it does limit your O's touches which makes for a short game when you have long marches the way we do. So in that regard I understand the link to the offensive style I guess. Just wouldn't let that be the key issue in what defensive style we run. [/QUOTE]
