[QUOTE="bozz_2006, post: 496928, member: 513"] I agree with you on the toughness. I addressed Seattle because it was brought up in the post right before mine. And I'm of the mindset that there is a superfine line to walk regarding playing tough and playing smart. Collectively as a team, we don't do that very well. Yes I overstated the situation, and i did offer the caveat that I was being nit-picky. Yes we did intercept that pass, but it was an overly aggressive play; not smart. I doubt you'd argue that aggressiveness and toughness aren't related. If you'll re-read my post fairly, I think you'll see the point I was making. And I didn't say exemplary; I said it was a microcosm. Over and over our players show that they don't know when to step up and make the big play and when to step back and make the smart play. How many times did our defense whiff because they either exhibited too much or too little aggressiveness? That was my point. There are tough players who can't hack it because they can't calculate when to be make the smart play. There are smart players who can't back it because they don't know when to make the tough play. Yes w made the pick and yes we got hosed. But if he would've made the smart play there, the probability of us getting hosed decreases dramatically. And no I wasn't there when players are coached on how to react to a Hail Mary attempt. But that's 101 stuff; you knock it down. Get the ball to the ground as quickly as you can. Cause the incompletion. Game over. Of course I've seen the play that you linked to; we all have. But how many times have you seen that happen; the defender successfully knocking the ball down and directly into the hands of the receiver for a touchdown? I'm sure there are a few, but no others jump to the front of my mind. I'll wager that it happens less often than a player going up for the interception and getting it snatched away by the receiver, whose job it is to snatch the ball away just so. Stick to what you're good at. Receivers catch the ball. Defenders beak up the play. If you're accusing me over grossly over-analyzing that play, you'll get no argument. I just made that case to prove the point. But if you're saying that point is wrong, we're just going to have to agree to disagree. [/QUOTE]
