Re: Defensive Strategy - cornering opponents ball

So yes a clever and most likely successful strategy but probaly not how the game was invisioned by the design team, not that there is anything wrong with thinking outside the box.

good luck with it we will see how it plays out in Atlanta
Some teams take pride in their defense, just as others take pride in their offense.

And I don't think playing defense is finding loopholes ... it's more finding ways to slow down those that think of offense only
