But that scheme was designed with Eric Berry as the key to it's success. When we lost Berry, the scheme was failing. I think that this year will be better for the defense as well. I think that Berry's return, as well as the improvement at ILB will transform our defense. We will be better against the run and maybe about the same against the pass.

I'm a fan of what Sutton did most of his years. But he looked lost last year. We can blame it all we want on talent. This defense didn't look nearly as bad in the past when we had far less talent. Let's not forgot our defense almost carried us to the playoffs in a year where we lost berry and dj in week 1 with Sean Smith and Gaines as our top 2 corners. The scheme was a big part of the problem. Reid sold us that the scheme will be different. He better be right.
