They are meeting with the players for the last time before they release them for the offseason.

I suspect that the defense has been run this way the past two seasons because the talent level on defense is so low. This team would need 6 or 7 new, quality starters to have a good defense. With the trash on the roster on that side of the ball, no scheme is going to work. The problem is that the talent level on defense has been declining for 3 or 4 years running, and it hasn't been replenished. No shuffling of the deck chairs by Bob Sutton can fix that. |

Bob's defense is way too complicated in one aspect. It's designed to take EVERYTHING away. By that, I mean this: BB put together a defensive game plan that took away Hill and Kelce. If he was going to get beat, it was going to be somebody else. Watkins and Williams had big games and he was willing to risk that to take away Hill and Kelce. Bob tries to take away everything and with superior talent, it can often work. The problem is if the talent level drops, suddenly you're trying to shut down everything but only at 75% efficiency. That's how you see a 13-play drive where they force 3rd and 10 THREE TIMES by shutting down the Patriots on 1st and 2nd down over and over (it worked) and then give up big gains on 3rd down. Notice that it was Edelman and then White and then Gronk. It wasn't really the same guy over and over (although Edelman was great down the stretch). Bob's scheme just doesn't work. |

Of course I mean here is the issue that happens. Fans of course hate Bob Sutton and understandably so. But most everyone who works out there doesn't care what fans think and Andy Reid has now coached with Sutton for 6 years so suffice to say they are probably good friends.
Not even most people who post here would publicly take someone they were friends with for the past 6 years and chuck them under the bus. |

Had a good Defense in 14 Very good defense in 15 As we lost guys like Poe, Houston and Hali/Berry(injuries/age) its gone to shit. Bob is like Gunther, needs an all pro defense to make it work. But Reid wasn't going to fire him when it was working and because it worked for several years he wrongfully gave him the benefit of the doubt. Reid won't make that mistake next year, you can hear it in his voice when he talked about it yesterday. Sutton is gone. |

But it's as if people think that the good defenses of the league have stars at every position. Hell, we don't even need a "good" defense. We need mediocre. This defense performed fine (usually even well) in the first halves this year. Everything disintegrates in the second half. Because we have an overmatched DC who NEVER makes quality adjustments in the 2nd half. |

You'd think a guy who spent a bunch of his professional career coaching at Army would know something about providing for the common defense. Bob, Not so much...
