First, maybe a digression. I've never understood the difficulty Os seem to have with the Patriots' way on D. Rely on the run game? Guess what the Pats will do. Have a single dangerous receiver? Guess what the Pats will do. The Rams HAD to go in the SB KNOWING the Pats would try and stop the run. Did they have an adjustment for that? Apparently not.
That said, the reason BB's assistants haven't been successful is they don't have BBs' organization. Not the same OL coach. Not the same OC. And apparently none learned how to mimic the Pats' D philosophy. I HOPE Flores - a D guy - has learned. I agree, scheme isn't everything, but a poor scheme is nothing.
