Message: [QUOTE="Bone Dog, post: 4605571, member: 12088"] It’s a complicated knot of things this year. Defense depends more on practices than offense does. It also depends a lot on team culture which is primarily developed when players depend on each other as much as on themselves. Another year beset by injuries undermined their ability to practice and defensive unity suffered. The trademark team culture was still strong, but it was more dependent this year on emotional bonds forged in suffering and sympathy than on the shared work in practices. If we can avoid injury next year, I’m confident Geno and CD will be able to build the culture and committed team D that we’ve all come to know and love for many years. [/QUOTE]
