Zimmers defense is awesome, so is Pete Carrolls 4-3 and he rarely blitzs. Theres no definitive best defensive scheme

I don't know what you call it, but a 4-3 defense is different from a 4-2-5. The latter is a hybrid scheme. Yes, Zimmer's defense is awesome, but Seattle's defense is a shell of what it once was. They now rank #19 overall in the NFL. They started the hybrid 4-3 nonsense and it's not even working that well for them.

I have no idea what you are talking about. Every 4-3 team in the league right now is a 4-2-5 most of the time. They are still 4-3 defenses.  Nickel is the formation every team plays the majority of the time.

Seattle lost Sherman, Kam, have been playing with Earl Thomas and are still 9th in points allowed. That's impressive.  Also, I don't see how their 4-3 defense is nonsense, it was literally one of the best defenses the league has ever seen. We had it last year and were elite doing so. Just needs more input from a DC to mix up coverages and help remove obvious tendencies.
