Thoughts?
This is something that I wonder about. Where are the PnR plays with the two of them in the primary action (roles reversible)? Maybe theory says that you have to try to bring a weaker defender into the action, but there is also something to be said for having your two best guys directly involved, isn’t there? I at least want to see a large enough sample size to be able to conclude, “Well, that doesn’t work.” We are nowhere near close to that, however.
