This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.
Important notes on articles:
- Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
- Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
- If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

I would hesitate to believe it will be a higher risk defense by Jvan
They will be aggressive and focus hard on generating turnovers, but won't need to take undue risks to achieve those goals. The talent and depth Freeman has in the front seven plus Hamilton will enable him to attack most offenses on every play without fear of wearing down. I don't see the need to repeatedly expose ourselves to getting gashed for 40-yard plays.
If there is more risk in Freeman's approach, it's in asking the relatively unproven corners to cover guys without help. Obviously, he will have to mix it up against teams like USC. That game may come down to our DL against their OL, which should work out OK for us.
