Personally I would rather just allow defenses to sub as needed since offenses already have the advantage of knowing the snap-count and the likely point of attack, etc. It's a guessing game for defenses and they definitely expend more energy when they guess wrong.


The defense has it's own advantages too. Like being able to move around as much as they want, in attempt to get the ofefnse to jump.

Yes, another reason why the defense expends more energy thus the need to substitute more often than the offense
