Disrupting your opponents ball by just simply keeping it out of their possession seems like it'll be a pretty effective form of defense. Any team can do this too, by simply bumping it around the field or not allowing another team to intake it. As far as I'm concerned if the other alliance doesn't have the ball with them then they have no offense being played.

But to answer your question I would say that yes, defense is a very effective strategy to utilize this year.
