Message: [QUOTE="Oswego93, post: 1521575, member: 5447"] D was completely demoralized after stopping them (one of the few times tthey have stopped anyone during this losing streak), and then having to get back on the field after the fake punt. I knew we would give up that final drive...and I had had a reasonable assurance they would leave us with little or no time to respond. Our D seems content to just give up large chunks of yards this year, provided they don't get beat over the top. That means the blitzes have been dialed way back. We still do them, but nowhere near as often, or as well as years past. I think it is a poor strategy. If we get more aggressive/blitze more often, we will certainly give up more points, but we will likely make more plays and get more TOs. That status quo of our D being on the field twice as long as our O can't continue. [/QUOTE]
