I think the schemes are a big issue

[THE PISTONS]

Let me connect the dots on our problems:

Ownership (Small Market Mentality) -> Small Scouting Staff -> Average to Below Average Coaching Staff/Inadequate Scheme -> Drafted Players Not Performing -> Free Agent Whiffs that don't replace players that left.

We tend to look at 1 or 2 of those things in each thread, but it's a holistic problem.

Interestingly, the Bengals try to fix the downstream issues, but the top of the pyramid is the issue that causes the downstream stuff.
