[QUOTE=jeemak;n1335708]We're relatively aligned MJP when we say our defensive issues aren't really about our back six to eight, solely. So much happens up ground to protect them, and if we drop pressure/tackle effectiveness they get cooked.
It isn't one, or the other, though. 100% agree with the issues up the ground to help the back 7, as well as where and when turnovers are happening, contributing to this.
However, none of this changes; there are still many, hack, 50/50 balls going into our 50, that are ending up, shots on goal, at a far greater rate, than the other good teams. You kill 4 more contests in that area, that is potentially at least a 2-goal turnaround. Addressing this is still worth it.
