There are system guys throughout the league and everyone knows this but as a team you have to be able to find the players for your system and sometimes you end up taking chances in hopes the person works out for you. I belive that Gibbs system was more different than Saunders system then people realize. I belive that Gibbs system called for man on man blocking and the team started getting this system down the second year he was here. Then you bring in Saunders system which I belive has more zone blocking and the line was horrible last year trying to learn a new system or blending the two systems somehow. This year the line looked alot better except for injuries. Portis did have to learn a new style of running. He even gained weight to support the system. Then they brought in Saunders and Portis was to slow for the zone blocking. Which is why I belive Portis lost weight this year to try and get his speed back.
