You know they'll still play Parker on all the defensive snaps, right? He's not coming off the field.

I think our Defense shows up to play Thursday Night. I expect a huge game from them.

Which is more likely - Cardinals sign Harper or Chiefs bench Parker?

C'mon - you're holding out hope on the former and we know that's not happening. The latter...well there's a non-zero chance here.

Nah. Sutton irritates me but no way he's that dumb if a relatively healthy Berry is available. Weren't we planning on a Berry/Sorenson duo before the season began?

I stated this in a thread a few weeks ago.

Bailey at RDE, Williams and Nnadi at DTs, and Chris Jones at LDE. Tanoh and Speaks would spell Bailey and Jones, and Hamilton would be rotating with Nnadi and Williams at DT.

This would bolster the run defense quite a bit in my opinion. 5 offensive linemen versus 3 defensive linemen and whichever linebacker they choose run at is an automatic mismatch in the offensive line's favor.

Really, we would be able to show the QB so many varied potential combinations and alignments, creating confusion along the offensive line. Right now we pretty much have the same alignment 80% of the time, with our big surprise for O-line being which side Ford and Houston line up.

I had other points but I am sleep deprived and lost my train of thought.

Agreed, I’ve been posting the same thing he past month. STOP THE RUN!

No dee ford or JH at ends? ford, jones, nnadi, houston could work. even fronts generate their pass rush from 4, not really hiding who your rushing there. Either way, stopping the run is more about gap integrity than even or odd front.

Sutton is an idiot who makes awful games plans. Our defense will never show up in any game and kick ass. We are a career day unit.

If Sutton showed up on this board and, just for shits and grins, argued against everything he's ever done, we would revere him as a god among posters.

Seriously - can any of you at least demonstrate the common sense to realize that if you sat across from Bob Sutton and tried to engage him in a basic discussion of defensive strategy he would absolutely obliterate you? He'd embarrass every last member of this board. And he could pick either side and do it. He could pick an argument that he disagrees with with every fiber of his being, argue in favor of it and simply wipe the damn floor with any of us.

And I'm not saying that as some attempt at defending Bob Sutton - of course he would. It's his goddamn job.

But Christ alive people, you want to sit here and act like you have the answers or its just a simple "Why doesn't Bob see what I see?" Idiots - he does. He has. He's seen what you've seen and a hell of a lot more.

It isn't as simple or obvious as you keep insisting it is and the fact that y'all keep cutting and running with these declarative statements that are completely devoid of any substantive support proves it. "Why doesn't he just have the LBs attack a single gap!!?!?" Well fuck, I guess the dude that's been coaching football longer than many of us have been alive never considered reverting to a PeeWee football strategy...

Honestly - have some concept of how goddamn stupid some of you sound. Put this in any context other than football. "Man, that patient is bleeding all over the place, if only that stupid neurosurgeon would put a band aid on him..." "Hell that Ferrari is belching black smoke...stupid tech should probably change the oil"

The basic tactics involved here are so much more complicated than any of us understand that it defies reason. There is no other context whereby any of us would not only substitute our judgment for that of highly technical professions but also have the audacity to conclude that when said technical professional doesn't defer to us he is clearly an idiot.

You can be the best in your field and still be arrogant enough to not use the simplest solution in front of you. Like continuing to play Parker for 100% of the snaps instead of a guy like Lucas just because you know Parker fucking sucks at his job. Hopefully Berry forces him off the team.
[Reply]

That's fine - call him arrogant or overly loyal. Say he's not a good DC and you have some justification for it. I've said in this very thread that Sutton's been given enough rope and I think he's probably hung himself.

But to call the guy an idiot and act like any child could fix this myriad of schematic errors he makes every week is just stupid.

You can give the man due credit for a lot of things and still think he should be replaced.
[Reply]

He's not a dolt, he just can't make chicken salad from the shit. I mean of course he's been in the league a long time and would probably make most of us look like retards in a detailed conversation, but his pedigree doesn't excuse the overall results, DJ. And those results fucking SUCK.
[Reply]

I think he's too smart for his own good. Certainly not an idiot.
