You're absolutely hitting on the real issue that gets glossed over with all the portal hype. The scheme is the constant, and it's a major liability. Watching that spring game, even the limitd clips, you see the same passive structure. The defensive line is two-gapping, just eating blocks, which is a death sentence in today's game where you need penetration. The linebackers are stuck reading instead of attacking, and that soft zone coverage is an invitation for any competent QB to dink and dunk down the field. You bring in all these athletes, but if you're asking a four-star edge to just set the edge and contain instead of pinning his ears back, you're wasting his talent. The havoc numbers don't lie. Until there's a philosophical shift to an attacking, single-gap system with simulated pressures and pattern-match principles, the rankings won't budge. It's a coaching issue, not just a personnel issue. They have the croots now, but the scheme is holding them back from being anything more than a highlight reel for opposing offenses.
