That offense is having some issues and sputtering along right now. If Murphy ends up working out then it could be a huge boost to the defense but otherwise, no, I don't think scheming can save it. A lot of people will point to scheme as this almost nebulous concept that can fix anything. In reality, it's just putting your players in optimal positions. You still wind up looking back at the talent and this defense just doesn't have it. I don't think that the team is awful, but I do think the defense is awful. This is an eight-ish win team in my mind. 

I don't disagree on the personnel and while I don't think scheming will make our defense a top 10 defense, I do think that scheming CAN make us into a top 25 defense (maybe higher if the rookies pan out and Murphy takes a step forward this season as a pass rusher), so I guess we'll just have to agree to disagree.
