His defense lacks any sense of toughness and attack. He doesn't dictate anything. When he blitzes he blitzes to blitz and not to dictate what the ofense can and cannot do.
Take Wade Phillips on the other hand. The guy instantly upgrades any defense he coaches regardless of talent. Why? Because he has a defense that dictactes what an offense must do. Not sit back trying to defend against any and everything possible.
Preseason or not, toughness and an attacking mentality are something that shows regardless. Sutton's defenses are soft, reactionary and undisciplined.
How this guy still has a job bogles the minds of most. But I am afraid what we've seen the last few years is what we will see again. Minimal attack, dependency on a turnover. Lots of time on the field defensively. [Reply]

I don't really disagree with your overall point but there can be differences in the effect on the game. The PIT playoff game for example. While we gave up only 18 points I think the argument can be made that the way we allowed PIT to control the interior 80 yards changed the momentum of the game, put more pressure on our offense, ect.
I'm not blaming the defense for that or the TEN game however playing bend but don't break has an effect on the game beyond points allowed. [Reply]

How long did we stick with nickel and dime while leveon bell and zeke jammed the ball down our throat? How long were we rushing three knowing damn well we were getting absolutely zero pressure. I know our players weren't the best. But Sutton has fielded a much better defense with bad players before. He looked lost last year. I think Suttons defense got exposed last year not because of talent, but because refs emphasis on pass interference has made it harder for his soft zone defense to work. If hes going to succeed, and like I said... I'm giving him til the regular season to prove it, it has to be by abandoning everything that worked for him in the past. I was not at all impressed with how he tried to tinker with his scheme last year. I still think Sutton is a lot more Monte kiffin than he is Jim Johnson, and that's the wrong direction based on where the league is going. [Reply]
JFC, the defense plays without 5 of the eleven starters in a preseason game, they allow 14 points, and Pete decides to vaginal discharge all over the board. :-) [Reply]

The 14 points came against mostly #1's. Atlanta had little problems moving the ball and could have added 6 more points had they decided to kick FG's instead of going for it on 4th and short a ccople times.
Yes, KC was without some starters, but so was Atlanta's offense.
If you like what you saw out of the JAG Collection defense, great! I sure didn't. [Reply]

Sutton sucks. It doesn't matter who is playing. [Reply]

It's the same damn thing every game, every time. 6 yard run. 10 yard run. 1 yard run. They convert on 3rd and forever with a pass over the middle. Repeat until touchdown. [Reply]
I don't expect any defense that Sutton puts on the field to dictate a game. The only hope I have is that the offense scores so much that our pass rush can tee off on the QB when we get leads.
Sutton's defense should be called Sense of Impending Doom, because I constantly feel like they are about to fail, even when they somehow don't. Even in the good years. [Reply]
