Message: [QUOTE="SWC75, post: 1176748, member: 289"] In the 80's we were good on defesne first, started winning our share of games and pulled off a big upset, then went out and got the offensive players that put us over the top. In this era, we pulled ourselves out of G-Rob's hole by playing well on defense first. we are now starting to recruit the offensive players that could put us over the top again. Even frank Maloney started by putting his best players on defesne and becoming competitive. Then he got Art Monk and Joe Morris. His problem is that he could never get them in phase: by the time he built up the offense, the defense had gotten worse. Trying to recruit before we built the Dome was a big problem. I think the reason this is the pattern here is that there may be more defensive talent out there than offensive talent. You have to get competitive again before you can get good again and defense is the way to do that. [/QUOTE]
