The counter was to move even faster than them and prevent them from latching onto all three to begin with.

Statistics will never convey how dominant 71 was in 2002, due to the game structure. It was the first "chokehold stragey" and to this day the best implemented chokehold strategy (469 2010 was more beatable, IMO).

It would be foolish to compare our SVR performance this year to 71's 2002 season. One was basically a time trial, the other was flat out domination of the opponent.
