I was fine with his defense then. I don't love it now. The game has moved past the McDermotts and Monty Kiffins of the world. I'm still disappointed that even though the game is moving back to a Jim Johnson brand of defense, we completely skipped the boat on that last year. I don't think Sutton will magically become Jim Johnson aggressive just because Reid asks him to.

Our defense was relying on Sorenson, Zombo, Gaines, Murray and Revis/DJ/Tamba who were done. Add in that Berry and Ford were done for the year early in the season.
There is not a DC in NFL history who could look good with that pile of shit.
