Conducting a little bit of an experiment with this discussion... when you hear the term "finesse" (typically in a derogatory manner), which teams from across the decades spring to mind?

I did some football tourism that year and saw a Seahawks game in Seattle as a neutral fan. That defense was unbelievable. I didn't mean to imply that they only won because they fouled all day. They certainly had the talent on defense to execute. But you're not going to hold up with slow cornerbacks against pick plays unless you move to a zone, which Manning would eat up. So they played man and held. It worked great.
