Is this the theory that explains why some people think that a better offense will weaken the defense? Maybe back in the 70's this made sense.
Not at all what I was saying. What I was saying is A&M is predicated on a pass first system. A team just isn't going to be inherently physical when that is your philosophy. I never said you had to have a "1970's" approach on offense to strengthen your defense, all I said was you had to be physical i.e. you have to be a balanced physical offense with a strong running game. For example, look at the defenses Florida had under Meyer when they had Tebow. They had a modern offense but it was predicated on being balanced and physical, as well as getting guys into space. Their power RB just happened to be their QB.
