Sure, having great edge rushers helps, but it you've got boss DTs they'll flush the QB to average DEs. Same with secondary, if you've got great Safety play, then you can get by with average CBs. It's also more cost efficient to go the fundamentals route.

Spot on. The quickest path to the QB is a straight line up the middle. Same with the RB. If the D-Line is backed up by LBs filling the gaps and safeties cleaning up the spills, the scheme works.

I like Fangio's defense, because it attacks downhill. I am really hoping we pursue this guy.
