Technically you are right. Having a high level of situational awareness doesn't mean you can't also be very aggressive and violent (although it is rare to find a player that has both to a high degree).I can make a case for it. Winning in football is about making plays that lead to scoring, or in the case of defense, making plays that lead to scoring or prevent scoring.Even if it gives you a better chance to win?

You haven't proven that less violence gives us a better chance to win.
So, defensively the goal is create turnovers by forcing fumbles or intercepting passes, tackling or breaking up passes to prevent 1st downs.
So, my point is that although violence may be a part of making a play, if you only focus on violence, you miss the point of football...which is to make plays to win the game.
My argument is if more focus is put on doing the things to make plays, and less on being violent just to be violent, you have a better chance to win.

Your case is for more situational awareness, which is a good case. The violence level has nothing to do with that.
You can be a total pvssy and lack situational awareness. Conversely, you can be savage killer with tremendous situational awareness.
What I am getting at is a matter of emphasis. Diaz keeps stressing playing violently. All I'm saying is more emphasis should be on making plays that win you games, and being violent when necessary.
