If they didn't have a center field FS quite like Bates or a 1T penetrator and run stopper like Reader, it was pretty bad.
If a defensive scheme needs specific players/skill sets to succeed and those guys aren't already on the team or very rare, it will take time to get the scheme to work.
Hopefully whoever becomes DC can implement a scheme that doesn't have this much dependence.
That is the problem with ANY scheme coach.
The coach should devise a scheme to get the most out of his players and fit the team. Not the other way around.
When you get (or lose) players with unique or superior skills, then you tweak things to take advantage or cover it up.
