Quote:Actually it is that simple, that's why is called an excuse. Or can you explain how the Dave n' Gus system is so radically different from every other in the league? What do our players do that no one else does?

well for one they don't cover receivers...It's not so much that the principles of the system are new, it's that the players have never played the zone blocking scheme and this zone type defense, and have the LEO and OTTO...Gus's defensive system is a hybrid that the players have to learn their assignments and places and where they are suppose to go, where they are supposed to be, when and where they let receivers go for someone else to pick up and hope that someone else knows he's supposed to...

 

The zone blocking scheme is much different than the standard just hit the guy in front of you, the guy in front of you might be someone elses assignment and your guy might be the one on the left or right so if you hit the guy in front of you, your man runs right around you without being touched
