Just curious...has anyone ever had or seen a team that recruited all out for offense at the expense of defensive rating and ran fast paced?  Obviously good two way players are ideal but I wondered how the engine would react to a team like that?

You can win a lot of games but when you face those elite ath/spd/def teams that stop you and you cant you'll be disappointed with the results.  I believe the generally consensus is it is easier to win with an all defensive team compared to an all offensive team.  To be elite you need to be top notch on defense with at least 1 player who can put the team on their back offensively.  Also at D3 it is pretty easy to score with just ath/spd/bh especislly in the FB

You can win championships at D3 with DEF in the 30's and 90/90 spd/per guys
