*** NFL Thursday: Saints 17 at Atlanta 13 (minus Julio) ***

[Marshal Dillon]

The prevent defense is the battlefield equivalent of a retreat.  You retreat all the way back to your end zone where you are forced to make a goal line stand to win the game, and hope for time to run out before they score.  If you are going to lose, at least go down fighting.

Great & concise description of the prevent defense. Best I have ever heard. I will use this example when I talk football to folks or on-line, but of course I will take full credit for thinking of it.

Don't make me boo you. 

The worst part is that it is the team that is WINNING the battle that is doing the retreating.  Imagine the allies getting all the way to Berlin with Hitler trapped in his bunker, then deciding to hurry up and go all the way back to France before he comes outside and sees them.  When you have the enemy down on the ground, stand on their neck, don't run away.
