Re: Look Back: Week 5

I completely agree with what has been said about some teams not being able to hurdle, or other teams being so good at hurdling that offensively there is no way to beat them. This means defense must come into play, but it needs to be clean defense. Pinning the ball against the wall may technically be legal, but why give such a low blow and be so unsportsmanlike. Instead, chase after that offensive bot and get in their way so they can't possess, hurdle, or maneuver as well. Even better: when that team tries to possess the ball, knock the ball out of the way so they can't possess it. These are completely practical defensive strategies which are not "cheap" or "low-blows". Taking away the scoring game piece in an offensive game is really quite blasphemous.
