The Problem With The Prevent Defense

How often do you see a sports team work hard, play focused, display dominance and build a lead…then fall back into a “prevent defense?”  More often than not, when this happens, the team looks, acts, and plays like a completely different team.  The result...they usually end up giving up points and losing (or lessening) the...
