This is true. But the point is, coordinators have used a prevent for a REASON for years to the tune of success. When it does fail, it's not that often actually. It's just that people bitch about it when it does. It's far more safe to sit in a soft zone than to blitz and give up a big play to lose the game. Which is what happened over and over again at the end of the game.

I agree with the bold, but it is unrelated to your defense of prevent.
