Message: [QUOTE="WiseWillie, post: 5341025, member: 13141"] Good post, Tonyc. We seem to concentrate much on the offensive skills of the newbies and the returnees but you start out with the nucleus coming back making for an exceptional defense and I agree 100%. There are many posts conjecturing on the starting lineup this year but we all need to agree that Geno puts as much if not more emphasis on defense. Defense IMO will be the key that will determine a lot who sees the most action and those who may not. Watch us in the FF last year. Offense was clicking but how many times did we force the opponents best shooters outside of their comfort zone? How many times did we force turnovers? It was relentless. And if anyone was slacking off just a little on defense they found a seat on the bench pretty quickly. That's something when we look at the potential for newbies that perhaps the Boneyard needs to spend a little more attention on developing. Anyway, just my three cents. [/QUOTE]
