I whole-heartedly agree. We're on the same page, we're just coming at it from different sides. I would rather put up with the pinning and tipping to get defense in the game, you'd rather see no defense until we can eliminate the "seedier" aspects. Both ways have pro's and con's.

I think when most people cry for defense, they are thinking of the fights for the ramp at the end of the match and the good pushing and shoving to prevent scoring. Nobody likes the pinning or tipping, at least not in the world of FIRST.
