One of the reasons Gun was brought in was because the line (particularly Sims and Hicks) supposedly suffered because of Robinson's 2-gap read-and-react system. Gunther was supposed to move Hicks outside and put Sims back in a 1-gap technique to fix all of our problems.

I should have said in my other post -- the only guy that's been reasonably SUCCESSFUL in a 2-gap system is Dalton.
