[QUOTE="mradtke66, post: 994569, member: 4199"] Agreed, any turnover really screws you up. But if you are in a situation where you're not just kneeling out the clock, you cannot eliminate that risk. Hell, even kneeling you could have something terrible happen. I'd say it's always the best chance--if I have the ball, your offense is on the sidelines. The cost or risk may or may not make it the best option. Sorry for the wordsmithing, I like to be as accurate as I can. 2 bones to pick here. To me, "prevent" has a very specific meaning. You're in prevent when you're quarter defense, ie, 2-3 linemen, 2-3 linebackers, and no more than 4 in the box. DBs everywhere else. Everything else is soft-zone. Second, I don't mind a soft zone. It's a sliding scale though and I agree some DCs tend to go too soft too early. Rushing less than 4 makes me yell, but I normally don't want extra rushers when you're protecting a lead and gone to a soft zone. If you send 5 or more, you've taken someone out of coverage. You now can't (properly, anyway) run man-2, cover-2, cover-3, or quarters. Above-average quarterbacks should be able to identify and exploit the hole you've created and make you pay. If you're in cover-1, one of your outside guys is going to be single-covered. Identify him pre-snap, 3 steps and fire. The rush never got there and you've setup a big play. If you keep 2 safeties deep, at least one eligible receiver is uncovered. Find him and the defense has given up 20 yards free and easy. I'd generally prefer cover-2 on early downs. Let your CBs jam their receivers to prevent easy releases and then drop and drop hard. [/QUOTE]
