100% jamming in when the 2nd lead runner is AFB means you're asking someone to make a 1 on 1 tackle wtih AFB. That's bad process and bad decision making on the inside but Hoppa did get a glove on him'

Thanks for this Botman. Only a small sample size but it shows that DL is not being over worked defensively.

I had noticed both the mistackles and the low work rate but sometimes you see what you want to see... men lie, women lie... numbers dont 2 games is admittedly a very small sample size and that could very easily normalise over the next 3-4 weeks and i'll check back in on that after round 5 but i too ...
