I highly doubt a midseason replacement is going to completely turn this defense around. Sutton is still our best option for the big turnaround that we need. And trust me, I don't for a second think what we're doing right now is at all acceptable.

Well, the numbers says otherwise in terms of comparing Sutton's 2017 to Robinson's 2003 defenses. And the 2017 defense is more talented than 2003, in my opinion.
