Message: [QUOTE="OttoinGrotto, post: 1417911, member: 297"] I think things would have to be so hugely imbalanced between the offense and defense, where the offense is so remarkably better than the defense it is undeniable, for Shafer to think in terms of offense first, yes. Modest improvement isn't going to change anything. I don't believe these guys can change their stripes. And for as terrible as our offense was last season, it was still preferable to watching the defense. Because as bad as it was, that crap offense still outscored our defense last season, and the thing we needed last season more than anything was more points. Even so, given the tendencies this staff has shown so far, it is far more likely that they are anticipating game plans where they hope to keep scores low and close than they are planning to find ways to win shootouts. Not a doubt in my mind. I will be soooo happy to be proven wrong. But I need to be proven wrong. [/QUOTE]
