Defence System Blitz/Drift

Defence System Blitz/Drift

Hi,I am just looking to see if I am right in saying the below:If we are the defending team, and have more players then the attackers then we should use the blitz attack and vice-versa for the drift?

It depends on the amount of pressure, yes when you have an overlap in defense you can use a blitz defense, but when short on people it depends on the amount of space left behind your defense line. when drifting the composure of the players is very important, you can also move back as long as you keep the composure in the line!
