If that was the case, why play defense on the defender, but instead have both 2041 and 1114 focus on scoring?
This was really variable, depending on the direction, the match, and the angle. Of course, in F2 the 2 or 3 that didn't go in on the "right" (from the driver's) side were key to the match, but many matches they did score. 294 kept them busy in the more reliable direction for match 2.

Not counting auto, it took you guys enough time to clear them that if 1114 used that strategy it would have probably allowed them to keep their lead a little better than they did, IMO. They were still basically facing their worst nightmare in the back though.
