  • I think the overall tendency is to play more averse. Don’t blitz, because a mobile QB will run on you. Don’t bring the secondary up, because a deep ball will burn you. Keep everything in the middle as much as possible. The more times an offense has to take a snap, the more times an error will occur even on the most routine of plays. If an offense scores a TD on a 15 play, 8 minute drive, hey man, they earned that. But if they scored on a 4 play, 1:30 drive, you messed up and will get your D gassed by the end of the game. Take away the big plays, make them earn it. I think there’s a lot less “we do what we do” on D these days, with D’s taking away what offenses do best instead of the older, hard headed way of “our best guy on their best guy and let them play”.
