The good folks from Football Outsiders have taken the liberty of answering several questions from us here at Silver and Black Pride, and here is the second question. One will be posted every weekday this week.
While yesterday’s question dealt with head coach Jon Gruden, this one is about the new Raiders defensive coordinator, Paul Guenther.
S&BP: Paul Guenther’s defensive scheme looks to be a step up from what the Raiders have employed on defense for the last several seasons. What are the most important elements, skills or personnel wise, in Guenther’s scheme and do the Raiders currently have what he needs?
