Re: Where's the defense this year?

very very very true. in the first match at pittsburgh, 188 was playing defence against 808 to try and stop them from hanging, and rode up on a 5 pt ball..despite a 1.5" ground clearance ! , and that prevented us from stopping them and they zoomed around to the other side of the field and hung. had we ignored them, herded and capped, we likely would have won.

that being said, a defence shouldnt be excluded from any strategy whatsoever. in fact, it may be simplify things alot for your crew =D

and they may decide to play the same game and keep you off the bar, then you spent your whole match doing what? nothing

you get no points for being defensive.
