I agree with this, but I think there will be non-elite teams who will be able to cross all the necessary defenses by ignoring all balls. Especially early in the season, I expect there should be many surprise teams that seed very high while 'better' robots spend their time chasing balls around the field. If I was a non-elite team competing at an early or weaker event, I would strongly consider this strategy.
In response to the main topic, of course there will be defense...
