<p style="margin-left:40px;">One personnel change? The implementation of the “Lotto,” which is perhaps best described as the team’s old “Otto” position with an increased emphasis on the pass-rushing duties typically performed by the team’s “Leo” pass rushers.

<p style="margin-left:40px;"> 

The thing is, this is precisely how they initially explained the OTTO position, so I don't see what the difference is. I know that last year they said Skuta was starting at OTTO and yet he rarely, if ever, rushed the passer. So are they saying that since their OTTO is really nothing more than a 4-3 SAM that now they need to add an "L" to make the position what it is in Seattle?


 

 

As far as the players being looked at in this role, they've mentioned Skuta and Ryan Davis, and I'm thinking Tyrone Holmes unless they're moving him to LEO more permanently. Yannick might get a look at LOTTO, but I feel they want him concentrating on LEO.


 

Jack I have no idea what his role will be, and if they intend for him to be the starting LOTTO, OTTO, MLB or what? Even before the draft I mentioned how he's not really a scheme fit, and I still feel like they're going to have to adjust everything to suit him.

 

You can call a guy anything, but how he responds to it is what really matters (on the field).  I have a growing suspicion that they intend on having Myles Jack play MIKE not sure if Poz will be there this year or not.. seems crazy to me that he wouldn't as I thought he played well last season & still has the ability to play this year at a high level.  Why not let the rookie play OLB.  If Jack doesn't start at MLB I think the intention is to phase Poz out after this season.
