Message: [QUOTE="Burg, post: 2267198, member: 1785"] Having good scrambling defence is great and there are times when you need it, even with good defence structure, eg the Storm. The ability to to scramble when or if your line gets broken is important, however I have felt that we are FORCED to have good scrambling defence because our first line gets broken through missed tackles or failing to wrap up the ball player. Then it becomes a habbit, players stop taking responsibility for their defence because the rest of the team will scramble. There have been so many games that we have lost because of a missed tackle or an arm grab that fails to lock up the ball allowing for second phase play. The Panthers game a few years back is a classic example. Now of course other teams lose games like this and miss tackles, naturally, its part of the game, however if you tallied all the defensive stats over the past 5-8 years I would expect that the Broncos would have the worse average. (Missed, ineffectual and one on one tackles, as well as offloads conceeded). This give other teams confidence that if they start throwing the ball around we will faulter. [/QUOTE]
