This is to be expected. 973 played what I thought was the best defense of any team I watched this year - they were able to stifle not just mecanum opponents but others as well. Yes, it is true that they were not only defending our robot, but that is also to be expected.

I wouldn't put too much weight on any videos of us from the quarters and semis. We were trying to play zone defense, and just were not very good at it (as we never had practice). We were quick to let teams go. In the division finals and on we tried man to man, which really worked out infinitely better for us.
