Aggressive schemes are always part of what you work on in preseason, just like conservative ones, and goal line ones, and odd fronts and even fronts.What if aggression is one of the things that "we need to work on" as Belichick said? WHO DO I BELIEVE? I don't know who to listen to anymore!
. . . just kidding, I'm enjoying your banter. It will be interesting to see how the season plays out.
Everything gets worked on in the preseason. Picking one item out and saying since they worked on that it proves what they will
do in the regular season is just not a reasonable argument. It’s one that cold br correct by default by not for the reason it’s being made.
Each season, based upon personnel, opponents, injuries, game situations, what is happening on the other side of the ball, etc, there is a level of aggressiveness. Aggressive play calls will occur. Bill Belichick tends to use aggressive defense less frequently than most. That’s his philosophy. Having Tom Brady encourages being more conservative.
Will this year be more or less aggressive than last year? It depends upon all of those factors as perceived by Belichick.
We aren’t going to be more aggressive because Flores likes aggressive defense more than Belichick so he is making changes.
And what we did in a preseason game has absolutely zero value toward knowing what will be called on the regular season.
If Flores likes to be aggressive, when game planning starts he will ask Belichicks permission and the decision will be BBs
