That’s any defense though. Better players is going to mean better performance when all other factors (such as the DC) remain the same.
Someone else can run an offense similar to Andy Reid’s but that doesn’t mean they’re going to call games in the same manner or more importantly motivate players in the same way.
When have you ever heard someone say they loved playing for Bob Sutton or that he bred fire and confidence for a defense? We never have. And it shows on the field.
