10 Defensive Guidelines to Live By 

  1. Learning the buttons is CRUCIAL.
  2. Learning ALL the setups is CRUCIAL.
  3. Sacks create turnovers.
  4. Turnovers win games.
  5. Sloppy setups get sloppy results.
  6. Sending pressure only one way will get me beaten.
  7. Learning to user-defend my opponent’s first read is my post-snap focus.
  8. I am not afraid of being quick-snapped by my opponent.
  9. Forcing the opponent to adapt to my style gives me an advantage.
  10. Adjustments will always be the biggest factor in losing or winning.
