Quote:Gus has changed the name of some common positions to create his on defensive scheme.. The Otto which is typically refered to as the Outside Linebacker or your Sam. And Leo which is basically another way of saying Defensive End...


In a recent interview Gus discuss using Skuta at the Leo position.. So if we paying Oderick all this money and drafted Fowler with our first pick last year, what position are they gonna play?


Quite frankly is Gus scheme working? Im hoping it does this year or it will be the last you hear of this Leo, Otto mess... Just get to the qb!

 

No, the scheme isn't working, because Gus is a typical football coach, he thinks he already has the answer before he finds out what the question is.

 

I think of a scheme as the answer to the question "What are the things my defensive personnel can do well." Gus doesn't ask the question, he just gives the answer.

 

In Gus's world 1+1 = 2, but so does 1324325+254235623. Everything equals two in his world, and if it turns out that 1324325+254235623=255559948 then in Gus's world the real problem is that we didn't ask him what 1+1 is, not that he didn't bother to do any thinking about what the problem is.

 

I will say that Gus isn't particularly alone in his failings, most coaches seem to have his problem, they really really need a great GM that can find guys that will make his question be 1+1, but that really doesn't dismiss Gus's failings, it simply means he's in good company in them.
