I think that's an interesting conversation - I honestly don't know the answer.
Do big plays hurt you worse? Or do long drives that tire out the defensive players hurt you worse?
I'd be curious as to the data - what is more indicative of winning versus losing, the number of explosive plays or the number of drives of 10 plays or more.
Frankly - either seems like a loser proposition. Can't give up the explosive plays, but can't give up long drives either. Bronco used to say that if your force the offense to go the length of the field, chances are they'll make a mistake at some point and end the drive. But it sure seems like BYU "forced" a lot of long drawn-out drives last year.

FWIW, Tuiaki said they did a lot of analytical research on things which actually matter with defensive play

Preventing big plays is the primary goal of the system because those hurt you more than anything else.

I didn't hear anything that lead me to believe that the research was just done this year. That is CB echo chamber.
