The secondary can't cover 4 WRs' for 2 or 3 seconds with seven fucking guys, do you think they're going to cover 4 WR's with 4 or 5 guys for 2 seconds? Unlikely my friend. [Reply]

Hope he has another rabbit in the hat on this one.
I get what Sutton is trying to do. Letting a high powered offense run the ball makes sense.
Shortens the game and keeps it close.
Vs. Pitt it was a great game plan. Unfortunately the Offense shat the bed.
Vs. the Raiders it made no sense. It was a bad strat.
IMO we need to go back to rushing/blitzing the passer to reset and get centered again as a defense... [Reply]
