True but so many teams are quick striking and the ground and pound just takes possessions away from your team.
if your defense isnt a sieve then they cant strike at will
and it isnt as critical to hold the ball 40 minutes trying to hide your defense
it works both ways
ideally you grind a teams defense into exhaustion and then your defense comes in and takes the ball straight away
the other teams defense realizes they have to go right back into the grinder
this is how Chicagos defense and all of Roethlisbergers, Flacos, Elis, defenses helped make them contenders
Chicagos defense combined with Devin Hester on ST could win games without a offense
it would be kinda nice to have a balanced team again
in 2009 that was the last time Dallas had a really balanced team
Romo was in his prime and Wades defense with DWare was able to just break into the top 10
that was the year they shut out the Eagles and then beat that *** in again in the wildcard
good times
and that roster wasnt anything really special outside of a couple of very good players
