Personnel upgrades, system familiarity, and Sutton just getting better at his job explains the D's improvement.
Oh, and Kendrick Lewis being cut helped immediately.

I disagree. Suttons second half defense has been mostly terrific. Yeah, he can't adjust when the personnel is just terrible. Like last year when we were on our third string
at lb and dL. But for several years running we've had a terrific second half defense. I think he struggles to hide downright terrible players like Dunta Robinson or Terrance Smith or Jamel Fleming. But if the roster is so bad that these guys get into the game, then that's not entirely his fault.
