Great Question Smitty!
Definitely! I played both ways. I was a running back and strong safety and cornerback.
I believe in agressive defensive schemes. I believe in challenging the opposition at the line of scrimmage. I love to run the ball. I really hate passing. I love to see my back get 20 carries and average 5 yards per run.
But I also think my game is influenced by my intelligence or "lack there of". I am more of a cerebral coach. I love playing guys who think running is a sign of domination and machoism.
Playing in a style of play that allows you to set your defense however you want, whether its 10 in a straight line, a standard 4-3 or however, I think having the knowledge to deal with these senarios make it much easier to overcome than not having had that type of experience.
When many guys come here to play in the Shootout, they become frustrated because they were not able to stack in their leagues and other tournaments. But with the advent of clocks and cerebral thinking, those that succeed in this style of play use their experiences from high school sports but a cerebral understanding of how to combat things like that.
