Offense Vs. Defense During The Lockout

  • So the general theory is the lockout hurts our team more than most since we have a new coach running a new system. (WCO and a 4-3). So, with that being said, which side of the ball will catch up first after the lock out? The offense or defense?

  • Im gonna say offense since there not a lot of unfamiliar faces...the D-Line may take some time jelling.

    Nickers...."There are no old running QB's in the NFL "~Sam Rutigliano~

    No system and new DL. has the defense even gotten together to work yet?

  • The offense is working with the playbook, haven't heard about the defense...

    but I figure most defensive players have played in a 4-3 at some point, but not many?

    offensive players have played in a wc offense....

    Hard to say. This whole biz is confusing to me. I thought the players de-something'ed their union, and

    what the ()*&^(*&^ is the hold up to a new cba?

    The union wants to get rid of the NFL draft? Or they want personal helicopters at their players' beck and call?j

    Or, the owners want to limit salaries to $27.50 an hour? crap. Just get it over with already. 😠

  • Offense should be able to shake off the cloud of OC Daboll's attempt to field a competitive offensive scheme last season. Was never able to figure out exactly what he was trying to accomoplish.

    But that's in the past so lets move on. Fundamental WCO roles hopefully will be absorbed and a competitive package will emerge come sept 11. Figure it will take longer for

    the defense to become UnManginized and format a scheme that will let them hit the field running. Suppose one could investigate how many of the younger player have WCO/4-3

    college backgrounds which may translate to a less steep learning curve.

  • It will be as always. The D will rebound quicker.

    Solid offensive play is predicated on timing and assignments.

    While Defense has plays and assignments, it is still largely reaction based. In the end, no matter the assignment on paper or chalk board, the assignment is to get to the ball.

    If everybody had like minds, we would never learn.

    I agree completely with you. Defense is far more instinctive, thus will attain whatever level it will become quicker. Of course, if that defense is going to suck it doesn't matter how much time together it will have.
