Voss and CFC have every single player talking up the “if we bring the pressure and defensive mindset for four quarters we know we’re a good chance in any game”. So why is it so had to do it? What are oppositions doing that makes it impossible for us to sustain that mindset and action-set for 4 quaters week-in andWeek-out, whomever the 22 selected are, any decent player can run and tackle and man-up and zone-up when required if he/she sets their Mind To It.
I'd suggest the issue is that playing that way requires full buy-in from the team because they need to unconditionally trust each other to have their backs eg when leaving their man to pressure the ball carrier, and also scenarios like taking risk with the ball and not being caught out on a turnover.
Without that full buy-in players go to self preservation by default and we see the static down the line play.
So while it's easy to say it's not easy to implement because it doesn't work if only a few guys are prepared to play that way - they just end up over committing and looking bad.
