[QUOTE="bobongo, post: 566873, member: 3893"] I understand that the issue which prompted the thread is not the one I addressed. But I'm saying that the[I] overriding[/I] issue which "hamstrung our defense" was the fact that we were running an oddball offense at the P5 level. As for an edict to play soft, if that happened then that's an issue, too. But fundamentally, I'm saying that running that (or any) offense not familiar to the NFL is going to have a deleterious effect on recruiting, especially at the P5 level, because players with NFL aspirations are going to tend to shy away from it. And it affected the defense more than the offense because the offense was such that it mitigated its effect on that side of the ball. I know this is a digression, but I can't help adding that I love the offense we ran per se. It was the side effect it had on recruiting that was ultimately its undoing. [/QUOTE]
