To be honest i feel that Gunther had alot to do with ****in up our young players the past couple years.
edit- you can get away with alot at the line with good safety play.

I know Pollard takes alot of heat here, but I've watched both of them intently and I can say without a doubt that Page is a HUGE problem. Many of the plays attributed to Pollard were actually Pollard trying to cover for the fact that Page was ANYWHERE NEAR where he was supposed to be.
For somebody who is supposed to be a zone cover FS, Page just isn't very smart. Combine that with his lack of high-end physical skills and you end up with a disaster waiting to happen.
