Message: [QUOTE="husky429, post: 5133282, member: 6696"] I am not as opposed to the high hedge from Johnson as some. I think it's effective... and if it wasn't being shows to be effective on the tape, Hurley would have moved away from it 2 years ago. He's certainly not as good at the hedge as Whaley was...but it's an effective and exceptionally disruptive defense. And I believe it is the BEST defense for Samson, because he's horrible at defending the post 1v1 like other coverages will often require. IMO the high hedge just not a BASE defense like the drop coverage we saw from Clingan last year. The high hedge and double is better served as an energy-off-the-bench change of pace defense that throws a confusing wrinkle at the opponents. This is all to say... Samson in a 15mpg bench role as a disruptor is where he needs to be. His play style makes it obvious. [/QUOTE]
