Quote:Yeah, but that's how the OTTO was originally pitched to us. I see the difference from last year, but I don't see any difference from what the OTTO was always intended to be. There was no reason to change the name as far as I can tell. I realized Telvin is light for the strongside, but he's primarily rushing the passer.

The name isn't important. It was brought up by Caldwell as a play on words when talking to the media. The reason it was nothing more than a glorified SAM backer position had more to do with personnel limitations than it has to do with scheme. They all but scrapped the OTTO. Our defense was flat out vanilla last year due to lack of players to run what Gus wanted to run. They plan on adding more exotic elements this year assuming we can generate a pass rush with our front 4.
