[QUOTE="pyledriver80, post: 76772, member: 194"] PERSONNEL ANALYSIS: QB Brett Favre has committed himself to sticking around for all of the team's organized team activities (OTA's) because he is learning a new system. Many of the plays are the same, but the formations vary and the words to describe each play are vastly different than the system he was under the past six seasons. As a result, Favre is struggling with calling the play in the huddle and getting everyone in the proper positions. Once the ball is snapped there isn't a problem because coach Mike McCarthy is running a basic West Coast offense. Favre isn't engaging in the same rigorous off-season conditioning program he undertook a year ago, but he is trying to maintain the gains he made through those workouts. At this point, his arm is nowhere near peak condition and his volume of throws is being limited. . . .

The newcomers on the coaching staff don't know much about him, so he has to re-establish himself in a new system. Right now, Gado is thinking too much in a zone system based mostly on reaction.
