re: Chavis felt his defense was under unnecessary strain?

I always thought it was lead on offense =less pressure on defense.

A D coordinator can't realistically think that an offense is going to out score everyone.....

I don't see what's so hard to grasp here:

More points on offense = less pressure on defense

Less points on offense = more pressure on defense

The Defense's job doesn't change based on the score. They're supposed to keep the other team off the scoreboard.

Did he want license to take a few series off? He wanted mediocrity to pass as success?

Seems like he should have just focused on what he could control, which is making the defense the best it could be and winning every series. Failure is never acceptable.

I think he wanted larger leads so that he wouldn't have to defend a lead late in the game and get exposed, which he repeatedly did.
