Lazor did it, Turner did it last year.....while coaching may certainly be an issue, lack of talent is DEFINITELY an issue. That 2015 draft crippled this team, Billy Price didn't help matters.

Just keep it simplified until the line gels and can execute the more exotic stuff properly. Stop this "simplify it then next season go right back to the failed concepts" business. Also, using a simpler scheme does not mean the players are bad automatically. I mean, even our great lines with Braham and Levi and company did not use complicated schemes - they just had sound technique and relatively simple schemes they executed correctly consistently.
