Defensive scheme to blame for lack of pass rushing?

I don't think it's a scheme issue as much as refusing to play your best players. What happened to Carlos and what's happening to Geno is one of the weirdest things I have ever seen in sports. The coaches would rather lose without them then win with them.

Maybe we have different views of what falls under scheme, but putting a 4-3 DE into coverage falls under scheme to me.
