Now you are really taxing my memory. But I think the OLB talk was out of consideration for Jenkins not initially being enthusiastic about eating blocks in a two gapping DE 5 tech spot. That went nowhere fast in the first year of Capers.

I barely remember something about freelancing, but was it Jenkins involved in that story? Because the run D each year was solid so it would have to be pass rush.

In Capers scheme, the 5 Techs 1 gap almost all the time.

The NT two gaps some, but most of the DL's take a gap and defend it.

Yes, that was part of Jenkins confusion. He thought he would be two gapping and letting LBs get the money. I mean sacks.

Gap? So is it called gapping, and is that different from some of those web sites I go onto that mention "gaping"?

According to JSO he had a problem with the scheme as it was originally presented to him, or as he initially understood his role in it, but then supposedly he warmed up to it after hearing that he wasn't destined to a supporting role of absorbing blockers all game long. As for the free lancing, I do not recall if that is something that was written about on JSO or talked about here. It would make sense that it had to do with passrush: he had 7 sacks in 2010, a healthy number for a guy who missed 5+ games. I don't think D linemen are supposed to put up those numbers in a Capers defense.

The freelancing thing is untrue. It's probably a product of that crazy 'psycho' formation he was playing in.
