The Chiefs suspended cornerback Marcus Peters as a result of his bizarre behavior late in Sunday’s loss to the Jets, when he threw a flag in to the stands, presumed he’d been ejected, left the playing area, and then returned in full uniform — but without socks. With the 6-6 Raiders coming to town, the Chiefs won’t be the same on defense without him, right?

Wrong, according to defensive coordinator Bob Sutton.

“It doesn’t change dramatically,” Sutton said of the Kansas City defense without Peters. “You guys have asked me a thousand times about why doesn’t he shadow, why doesn’t Marcus do this, and it is because our system is set up so, certainly Marcus is a really good football player and we will miss him, but it is just part of football. Whether it is injury or whatever. We can’t really change this late and really do much different than what we would do. Guys stepping up and got to play their tails off.”

Sutton also was asked with Kenneth Acker will be the next man up in the absence of Peters.

“I wouldn’t say that, I wouldn’t tell you who it is going to be anyways,” Sutton said. “Honestly, we are rolling guys through both places.”

Having Darrelle Revis around helps, assuming they’ll use him for more than the first half. Whatever they do, it’s a must-win game for the Chiefs, who are in danger of becoming the third team in three years to start 5-0 and miss the playoffs.

What we actually don’t need is Sutton.

what did you expect him to say, "jesus christ we're gonna get raped"?

It will be very ugly unless a miracle happens.

Yes. He’s a god damned idiot.

Beat me to it. :cuss::cuss:

Thread title says Sutton claims we don't need Peters.

Article quotes Sutton as saying "we will miss Peters".

He says it wont drastically change our defense, I gave it a little flare. Sorry

I think he is very wrong!

Well it would be hard for our defense to get worse than it is.

He had me up until the having Revis helps comment. Trying to take down a Big Texan steak challenge? Maybe. A football game? Doubt it.

Defense is shit with or without him. Nothing changes.

you guys don't understand politics eh?

I'm interested to see. I think long term Peters out of this group is a disaster. Short term I wonder if it wakes them up. I mean it's already a disaster so we are pretty close to rock bottom anyway.

The part that makes me the most mad is that Sutton talks in the article about how the system is set up. Who cares. The system isn't working. He can't possibly be trying to say that his system can handle it can he? The system can't even handle it with Peters.

This.

Peters would say we don't need Sutton
