Does that mean that our college wrestlers need to focus on riding more. If you look at the past the likes of Gable and Taylor. Those guys gave up no points in tournaments. Not just offensive points, they never played the take em down let em up game. I believe to be the best you must dominate in all positions. You can get in a lot of trouble just focusing on one area. I will say though that the neutral postition is the most important, it is not the only position. Personally I do not like just the take down game. I coach my guys to pin as it is the defining moment of what wrestling is about and as stated before unless you are a thrower. Youhave to have a good ride, not just to earn points, but to dominate and get the fall.
