conservative and lengthening opponent’s T.O.P. This is what Tuiaki defender’s always point to. “Look! Our opponent points per game are lower!” Guess what? That’s what happens when you play bend, bend, bend, bend…break defense. Guess what also happens? Our D gets tired. Injuries accumulate. Our offense has fewer possessions.
Here’s a stat that actually matters: Points per drive.
Points per drive. Points per drive. Points per drive.
Say it 100 times.
This year our offense is ranked 28th in PPD. That includes Jake’s 5 misses.
Our defense? 73rd.
