Face the fact folks, no move or 2 moves is going to fix this, with one being FIRE BOB SUTTON! Fire Bob, Who is the new DC, NOW, with a game in 7 days. Even with the lack of talent we desperately need on defense?
Who?
Good question. May be too late, but I'd give Britt Reid a chance. [Reply]
Reid is one of the best play designers in football. On some days he is also one of the best at calling plays. Other days are playoff games where he forgets to run the ball with an 18 point second half lead.
But you would think that when he calls a specific play, he understands why the play will work against a specific defense. So, if he knows when a play will work, he should know what defense would be able to stop the play.
To me, Reid should be a great asset when it comes to defending an offense. I wonder if Sutton even has any discussions with Reid about defense. I get the feeling when listening to Reid that he lets Sutton do whatever he wants, and has little input into defensive game plans.
Does anyone else think that Reid should take more of an interest in the defense?

Coaches can mean the difference between good and great but coaches can't turn bad into good.
The other side of that coin is that coaches can waste talent, probably to a higher degree than they can influence it positively.
I’ve stayed out of the fray because I, like you, think personnel not scheme is largely to blame. But I’m coming around.
Seems like offenses are able to dictate shitty matchups. Like Shaw on Gronk. Yuck. Maybe that’s the deal with Houston being in coverage all the time. I don’t know.
But I’m definitely coming around to the idea that Sutton needs to go. [Reply]
