At some point you have to hold both parties accountable.
He has the 3rd most tackles in the league up to this point. Maybe if he was allowed to instinctively attack rather than read and react he's making tackles that aren't already 5+ yards down the field. [Reply]
Smith's defense has been struggling for over a year and the Bucs had seen enough. The Bucs are 31st in the league with an average of 439.8 yards of offense allowed per game in 2018. Mark Duffner is set to take over as the defensive coordinator. [Reply]

At what point do you say enough and just try something different, as in a new coach. Sutton has been here for how long and it's just going down hill.
You can blame personnel, and that's fair. However as a coach, it's your job to adapt and game plan for your strengths and weaknesses. It seems Sutton is so set in his ways and he refuses to do this.
Can it really get much worse than the current pace to break records for yards given up? [Reply]

Don't question Jesus Sutton Christ, he walks on water! Head on over to the Golden Corral and ask Andy! [Reply]

at what point if you're the DC and what you're doing isnt working do you just let the guys go out and fucking play. I mean scrap this read and react shit and let them blow shit up [Reply]

Cincinatti sent the house against Pittsburgh and gave up the game winning touchdown. Every talking head on all 3 networks was talking about how stupid Cincinatti was.
At the end of the Denver game, Booger and Young were talking about how dumb Denver was to not play soft and keep Mahomes in the pocket.
That part of this discussion isn't black and white. We could literally go back and forth on this for hours. There is no concrete right or wrong answer.
That being said, this defense is not only the worst in the NFL, it's the worst in team history. This isn't a 1-5 team, it's a 5-1 team. That DEMANDS action. Bob Sutton MUST be fired. [Reply]

They replaced him with Mark Duffner, who in his one stint as an NFL DC, coordinated the 32nd-ranked defense in the league.
That's NOT the kind of change that is needed here. [Reply]

They held one party accountable and then dedicated an ENTIRE draft to it.
It's not only still bad, it's WORSE.
Sutton has to go. It's the only course of action left that offers any hope at all. [Reply]

Not only did they dedicate an entire draft to it.....but two of those players are the only ones getting snaps right now. And it's only because Houston and KPass are hurt. [Reply]

Andy won't do it, though. We all know that. [Reply]
