No, I was being sarcastic. You dont think taking away Burrow and Chase would instantly make the offense worse regardless of scheme? Using YOU'RE logic losing just two players shouldnt matter. You can simply adjust the scheme and everything should be OK.
If you were to replace Burrow and Chase with Carson Wentz and Kadarius Toney, regardless of what scheme you use, the offense is going to be worse. Talent matters. When you dont have much talent to begin with, then lose the better talent you do have, you are not going to scheme your way out of the lack of talent.
Many people on here have been hyping Saleh for how great he did in San Francisco. Yes he did great as DC but he was given a ton of talent on defense to work with. Its easier to make your scheme work when you have talented players. Again, having talent matters. If Lou and his scheme were truly the problem, we shouldnt need to add any talent to the defense this off season. Bring everyone back, roll with the current group of guys on defense and we should be dramatically improved next year because the problem was simply Lou and his scheme. Nobody would agree with that because it should be clear to everyone we are missing talent at different positions on defense.
