There are indeed ways to scheme this talent level far better than it's being utilized. The most glaring responses involve less  of this soft zone that  allows everything and anything underneath and more aggressive blitzing to give your weakened secondary a fighting chance with some help up front.  But the POINT was that they knew Wash wouldn't budge from this scheme and they took away what he needed to have a fighting chance and didn't do enough to replace it. 

Outside of that - I really like what Dave and Doug did to this football team over the offseason. Sincerely.

We will agree to disagree.  More blitzing will expose our already weak secondary.  Mixing things up more?  Sure.  But you are damned if you do, or damned if you don't with this current talent pool.

I really don't know what there is to like about the off-season moves.  Please elaborate.  Because we look like a 2-14 team at the moment who just got our teeth kicked in by the "rebuilding" Miami Dolphins.

Coaching (scheme and concepts, teaching fundamentals and motivation, and game day play calling) has less impact on overall success than the talent of the players. 

Yes or no?

Yes.  Obviously both have an impact, but talents trumps scheme.  If my X can destroy your O, then the scheme is secondary.  Its the Jimmy's and the Joe's more than the X's and the O's.  The defensive roster of 2017 and 2018 should be enough evidence of that.  Same scheme, different talent, different results.
