True. Plus making stops gives your Defense confidence. Also, I don't like playing prevent in the preseason, I can understand vanilla, but
prevent is different and it doesn't allow the Secondary or Linebackers to play near as aggressive. You at least need to put some fear in the
QB's by trying to make instinctual plays on the ball. You play that soft cushion crap and any QB can eat you alive.
I don't understand where this gets you.
