You guys are just on a gerbil wheel. It’s almost impossible to conclude whether or not Lynn is an impactful DC because his resume is too short at this level. You see a lot of one time coordinator wonders. Yeah, the problem is that any coordinator with a productive track record is a HC. OTOH, he’s likely to be fired in short order.
In terms of “scheme” I don’t see anything special. TBH, and I know I’m on an island here but Azz and even Bradley had superior schemes. If not superior, not materially different. If you want paid attention you noticed that the guys were almost always in the correct position. What was fcuking infuriating was we just proceeded to get run over. We almost never had first contact result in a tackle. Or second contact or even third. It’s why I have so little hair left.
What was even more mind-bending is that when players like Barnes made the NFL as UDFA’s suddenly they could tackle.
