[QUOTE="kittysniper101, post: 255317, member: 559"] I don't think playing aggressive makes you inherently any less sound. It gives you a smaller margi n of error if your pressure doesn't get home or if the running back slips through a tackle, etc but I think that's a different issue, and a tradeoff I will gladly make. I consider a sound defense to be one that plays smart with recognition and follows basic fundamentals well (leverage when covering, aligning quickly pre snap, few missed assignments, good tackling, timing in blitzes). I think any defensive philosophy can be sound if these things are executed well and the problem with our defense is that we don't. We play well below our talent level because we do things like cover grass instead of players as ibeeballin pointed out. I would actually be happy if I actually saw us play sound defense , regardless of the scheme/philosophy but we haven't done that in a really long time. As an additional argument for an overall more aggressive approach, I think one could make a similar argument people make against our offense. Namely, we play soft so often that when we actually play up close, blitz, etc it's executed at a lower level, similar to when we have to run a 2 min offense. Things like playing in press man, blitz timing etc all take game reps as well as practice and we don't get it done. [/QUOTE]
