Guenther has even gone away from essential elements of the scheme that made our D successful. For example, Zimmer's coverage preference was tight man by a wide margin. The idea being that tight man causes pass plays to develop a little slower (waiting for a receiver to come open) which gives the DL more time to get to the QB. Paulie naturally goes to mostly soft zone which has the entirely predictable effect of receivers quickly sitting in zones meaning the DL needs to get to the QB that much quicker.
