Someone above alluded to it above, when all our premium talent is beasting it's a masterpiece.
But pull a few key pieces out and you might as well have a friendship bracelet on your wrist, rather than a $5K Swiss timepiece.
It's a variation on Alex's major limitation. Alex executes the things he understands as well or better than anyone, but is a post when presented with novel information.
Similarly, Sutton designs a mighty defense when he has everyone he wants at his disposal, but when asked to improvise and fill holes, his plans go wonky.

This defense looked outstanding last year without mauga, barely a Poe, third string DEs, Houston, and with Mitchell as our #2 cb. They imploded after they lost DJ but what defense could have survived with the shitstain ilbs we ended the season with. His defense is banged up every year. A few years back, he ran a solid defense without Berry or DJ, and with Sean Smith as our #1 cb and we were so banged up that Gaines and even Parker had to play #2 cb. It's bs that Sutton is only good when he has star players.
For whatever reason, our defense this year isn't working. I hope it gets fixed. But let's not pretend Sutton was incompetent from the start. Our defense has carried this team the past 4 years.
