Schemes are not systems and that may be where the issue is. The rams are multiple in scheme but have a very specific system. It sounds weird and may seem like semantics but the best way to explain it is like this. Urban Meyers spread isn’t Chip Kelly’s spread and that sure as heck isn’t Gus Malzhand spread. We woul call them all spreads (scheme) but fundamentally they are very different offenses (systems) that have a very loose thread between them being some spread aspects.
When a guy goes from team to team but we’re in the same scheme the odds of it helping much at all are minimal however if they move from the same system to system it’s probably going to be very likely they will pick it up fast. Looking back I think you were actually describing more of a shared system which does have some value to it depending how much they have all evolved over the years.
