When his job was to read the alignment and the run action. All he had to do was his friggen job but instead he took himself OUT of the gap he was supposed to be in.
What exactly can Bob Sutton do from a schematic standpoint to stop his ILB from simply taking himself out of the play despite 2 or 3 obvious reasons why he shouldn't have done so. That play perfectly demonstrates that from a schematic perspective, Sutton had that thing taken care of. He had the outside contain and had a guy ready to fill the gap.
His friggen linebacker freelanced, as they have done time and time again this year. And in so doing, he blew apart the structure of the play and left a wide-open middle. It was just completely asinine.

He was to ATTACK the QB, the edge was set. If he attacked the QB (as it's his responsibility) That play nearly causes less damage then it did.
