What I am referring to though is, for example, what is the FS being asked to do coverage-wise? From Anarumo's scheme, the FS needed to be very rangy like Bates, which is rare.
The DL also doesn't have much (any) creativity in Anarumo's scheme, so it's heavily reliant on guys being able to handle 1-on-1 matchups or command double teams and get off blocks all the time. Someone like Reader was vital because he could do that better than the guys they have now.
Or do they have the right DBs who can handle zone coverage vs man? Those are (somewhat) different skillsets and matter if you don't have the players to accommodate said scheme.

That's how an even front DL works. Even going back to the better defenses under Zimmer, you had Peko attracting double teams, and then Geno, Carlos and whoever was playing RE attempting to win their one on one matchups. On the back end, instead of Jesse Bates, we had Reggie Williams roaming the deep middle.
