After surrendering 69 points and 869 yards in back-to-back losses, many have questioned if Oakland Raiders defensive coordinator Paul Guenther is the right man for the job. The skepticism surrounding the coach is certainly warranted as defense appears to be the team’s weakest link.
Guenther was handpicked by head coach Jon Gruden to lead the defense, and the coordinator left Cincinnati on his own terms to join the Silver and Black. Ever since his hiring, Oakland has made personnel decisions with the coach’s scheme in mind.
Now the question persists, is the defensive coordinator’s scheme worth building around?
