I think this assumptiom is the potential flaw. We know this is a very sound, solid defense. No doubt. But what happens if other teams get more cracks at it? Do you throw in another busted run? An Iggy PI? Do they get worn down from their base, not many subsitute defense? Does an OC figure something out?
I have pretty good faith they’d be okay. And who knows the flip side is - what if an aggressive, tempo offense does score and we let the defense play with a lead?
At this point, all the “resting” goes out the window. It’s time to go all out now - so if the offense needs to hit the gas pedal, I think Day goes for it now.
At the very least, maybe we need more Endzone shots from the 30-40 range if short fields are an issue. Easier said than done.
