Quote:Funny how it's been implemented successfully with other teams.  You'd think there is a correlation somewhere in that fact, wouldn't you?  Or you just want a simplistic thing to blame that you can sorta wrap your head around.

It's this.


People can blame the scheme all they want but like you've mentioned, it works many other places just fine. In the past, now, and in the future the ZBS will work in the NFL.


This team flat out doesn't have the talent right now to be successful in any scheme. Whether your running Zone/Gap scheme your guys need to beat the guys across from them and it's not happening right now.


Do people really believe if we were running nothing but gap scheme stuff that we would all of sudden be the 2007 Jaguars again? Gap scheme would turn Joeckle, Beadles, Bowanko, Linder, Pazstor/Young into guys like Manuwai, Meester, Mo. Williams, etc.


Those guys were simply better than what we have now. It wasn't because of the scheme, it was because they were just better offensive line period. I hope to the football gods that what we have now gets better because they are still young and have a long future ahead but come on guys let the scheme thing go.


If you want to blame the coaching and playcalling then I'm all for that but by using a blanket statement like "its the ZBS" is just ignorant. The Texans showed us last week that the scheme works. They just have some Dudes on their team that we not.
