I hate his scheme, his near 100% reliance on Darius to make a play, and the incredible repetitive 70%+ completion rate of QB after QB against him.
Then again, Frank Reich is the HC, he has the power to sit down with him and demand we do something different. Oh, wait, Frank probably had no idea we played cover 2 for 87 plays straight, I bet no one told him.
Gut em' and start over!

I’m not particularly a fan of the scheme either, but no scheme works without a pass rush. They started the season with no DE with double digit sacks CUMULATIVE for their career. And Eberflus was Ballard’s pick for defensive coordinator, not Reich’s. He was hired before Reich.
