If Del Rio is indeed the favorite to become DC there, lets go and get Spagnuolo.

I don't say that to defend Sutton, but geezus. People think you can scheme your way to a top 5 D with scrub players as long as the DC is good.

It's just not the case. Never has been. Never will be.

IF KC had 3 bad ass pass rushers like Spags had in his limited time of success, Sutton would be shredding offenses.

Talent > Scheme

There's a difference between permanently 'scheming' to make shit talent look notshit, and adjusting the scheme to minimize the effect of talent deficiencies that all teams have and that arise periodically from injury.

I haven't completely figured out whether Sutton's failures are due solely to insisting that people perform roles that they are ill-equipped to, or if it also involves a failure to disguise those shortcomings from the opposition. But it's glaringly clear the difference in execution between when Sutton has the people he wants doing the jobs he drew up, and when backups are trying to mimic the missing or injured primary's role for a short period.
