What he was said is that it would put MORE pressure on the front players. Now since we all know that they are already going to get pounded hard, you need to do what you can to take as much pressure off of them as possible, not add to it. That was very sound advice. You should have a guy though that can easily move more to the front once you have the first three set, in my opinion. That is just my opinion, and works well with the guys that I play. Team dynamics should control most of your strategy. There is more than one good strategy. Most importantly know your guys. A defensive type team can not win the same way an offensive type team does.

Good Info... by: Anonymous
I have a question and a comment.
First, "But we soon discovered that this will put more pressure on the front players since their survival is crucial."
I am not sure if I understand what he is saying here. I am pretty sure that it is accepted that your fronts are gonna get smoked. It is a question of them getting done what they can get done before they get marked.
Is the author saying that putting too many fronts is bad because of this fact and now you can't just accept them getting marked?
My comment would be about a snake player. I get the point that you want a fast guy so that he can actually get there, hopefully off the break.
However, just want to point out that if you have one really fast guy, but another guy that is a significantly better gun fighter, you may be better off figuring out a tactic to get the gun fighter in the snake. You pretty much want your best gun fighter in the snake if it is at all possible.
Oh, I have one more comment:
Read the last paragraph again. That is gold information right there. You need rollers who can sweet spot hard and you need runners who do nothing but move.
