Message: [QUOTE="rnabokov, post: 3095342, member: 1847"] It is that easy - to be part of, and keep a basic defensive formation, which is where we failed out wide. Individual differences in both attack and defence need to be factored in. Defending Tedesco is of course something that is really hard, and there is no shame in being beaten by his amazing footwork and speed. There is shame in not keeping a basic formation which will in most cases cut down attacking opportunities, like making it harder for say Teddy to show his skills. As I see it, keeping to the structure, maintaining the defensive line, is integral to reducing the space and time for the attack. Our failure to do this created gaps which let the attack have ample time to set a play which simply let the ball carrier stroll through the hole(s) and in doing so, pressured defenders to mark up on more than one support runner. Just watch some of the tries the Eels scored out wide on our right edge ... ugh! [/QUOTE]
