So - you hold a team to 84 yards in the 1st half -- and then play 4 down and lots of nickle/zone. I'm obviously not a coach - but never understood why you'd stop what's been working.Originally posted by FritzDontBlitzTo prevent you from winning.Originally posted by Fosco33Please - someone who's smarter than me -
Why do teams play 'prevent' defense? I don't get it.The measure of who we are is what we do with what we have.

So - is wiki smarter than me? 35-6 would be a lot better than 35-20.Originally posted by retailguyPrevent defenses are geared almost exclusively towards stopping an extremely long pass. They are frequently used in obvious passing situations, such as a third-and-very-long situation, or to prevent a long score on the last play of a half, or when the defense believes that the offense must pass (for example, if the offense is trailing late in a game). Otherwise the prevent is almost never used. The defense trades size for speed, and tries to ensure that no receiver can get behind the defense. A prevent defense backs up the coverage so far that it will often give up long yardage, but it makes scoring a touchdown in a single play very difficult.Originally posted by Fosco33Please - someone who's smarter than me -

It was the "smarter than me" comment that got me to respond.
Remember that 2 TD lead that evaporated........ why let a team back in it?The measure of who we are is what we do with what we have.

I have no problem with showing dime/nickel if you still attack from it. Sitting back in zone is just as bad as prevent no matter whar formation you use,Originally posted by Fosco33So - you hold a team to 84 yards in the 1st half -- and then play 4 down and lots of nickle/zone.
