Many believe that quarterback is the most important position in football. A great quarterback can be the wind in your team’s proverbial sails, while a poor quarterback is an anchor trying to drag you under.
Last week I took a closer look at the controlled aggression of the Wisconsin defense and how their four man pressures can give opponents fits. These pressures make the game especially difficult for the quarterback. The ability to get pressure AND still drop seven men into coverage can make for a very tough day throwing the football.
While Wisconsin’s defense makes life miserable for the QB, their offensive schemes do the complete opposite.
