It's bullshit. Dude, you're going to have to come to grips with the fact that 40 point games are NOT the norm. Not even CLOSE. And every time this team goes up against a team with an offense capable of matching those high scores, we get our asses whipped. And the reason? Buttons. This. Shitty. Defense. And Buttons.

Is this about scoring 40 or offense in the NFL being way, way up? Because those are 2 different things. |

I DON'T think Sutton sucks. I don't think his schemes are too complicated; in fact I think they're quite good. I don't think fire and brimstone is a necessary prerequisite for a DC. I think Sutton can coordinate a championship caliber defense. But at this point it just can't be here. It's like Reid in Philadelphia; Reid was still an excellent football coach but in the end, a change had to be made. The defense last year got pushed around and physically assaulted. Meanwhile 2 years prior we had an excellent defense with the same guy at the controls. I was wanting him fired but understood why he wasn't. But now...well now you've had 2 years that threaten to be undercut by a bad D. And I will say that I think our offense makes playing D pretty damn tough, it still just doesn't matter. I don't expect a miracle turnaround from Sutton's replacement because that's now how this team is built, it's not what the HC emphasizes. But at some point reality sets in and you have to just get a new voice in there.

At least DoD has some catchup speed. And what's nice about DoD is that he knows it so he doesn't commit as soon. There's no way he gets flayed as badly as Hitchens does on that stutter step because DoD doesn't commit that quickly; he doesn't have to. He knows he has the speed to force the route runner into his pattern and then match. He doesn't have to bite on window dressing and guess like Hitchens does. Gotta make some fundamental personnel shifts at this point. Next week is perfect because Jackson's speed needs someone to mirror it. So you have DoD and Lucas out there to get themselves up to game speed and it gives them the reps they need to be slightly more prepared for LAC. The time is now.

So we have horrible coaching. Who was the last draft pick or UDFA outside of the 1st or 2nd round who developed into a difference maker on defense? Is it a scouting problem or coaching problem. Hell, look at the safety for the Bears, Eddie Jackson. He was a 4th round pick last year and now he's one of the best safeties in the game. When have we drafted anyone on defense that wasn't an obvious find. Guys like Jones, Peters, Ford, etc. were all high draft picks and easy to project. Until we can actually find defensive talent in the draft we won't see improvement.

In fact, they look like the same final outcomes I've been seeing since I started watching football in the 1970's.

Bash on. Hopefully Sutton is canned at the end of the season and we can move on to something else. |

It's pretty obvious this defense lacks the ability to tackle and the "we won't be bullied" mentality. Short order, they are soft. If we get ousted in the playoffs, and this is the reason... then Bob has to go. It's not necessarily scheme, it's his inability to adjust, stays loyal to guys that suck (Parker and Murray), and general lack of attitude his defenses play with.
