Second - THE NICKEL WAS THE RIGHT SET! The Ravens threw it 3 times in 5 plays, gained 13 yards and punted. Sutton got it right there, whether some of you nogs want to actually pay attention to what happened on the field or not.

It wasn’t until the second quarter that we started seeing some bear front defense to help attack the running game. We also saw for most of the first half, the inside linebackers not having one assignment where they were able to attack instead of waiting for the ball to come to them. That’s not all, Sutton also decided to run with three safety sets much of the game including putting Ron Parker down by the line of scrimmage while keeping Daniel Sorensen as the last line of defense.

This is simply wrong. The Chiefs were in a 46 (bear) front on the drive where they got butt****ed down the field. Moreover, the 'much of the game' where the Chiefs were in 3 safety looks? 8 snaps. Of 70 something. They spent roughly 10% of the game in a 3 safety look and those were almost exclusively on 3rd downs.
Right here, I should probably just be done because if a guy spends the first 50% of a hatchet piece merely sharpening an ax, makes a shitty point when he finally gets going and then just makes shit up in the next paragraph...why should I pay any attention to anything else he has to say?

Which brings me to my point of Sutton being incapable of adjusting his defense to fit his personnel and why the Chiefs must move on from him this offseason. If Justin Houston doesn’t cause a strip sack at the end of regulation, it’s possible that we are talking about a loss. Sutton’s defense relies too heavily on timely turnovers when it lacks the turnover personnel.

HOUSTON CAUSED THE STRIP SACK PRECISELY BECAUSE OF AN OVERLOAD BLITZ AND DROP ZONE CALLED BY BOB SUTTON!!!!! You are a ****ing hack, man. "Well if Houston doesn't do X, we lose because of Bob Sutton, nevermind a hell of a call by Sutton to lead directly TO X"

We saw this defense look better in the fourth quarter when the changes were finally made. It’s clear that the defense can have success when given the opportunity to run the scheme in which attacks the weakness of the opposing offense. In the fourth quarter, Sutton got creative moving his players around the line of scrimmage including moving around his pass rushers. There were multiple plays where Houston lined up on the interior of the defensive line.
The game plan that should have been in place at the start of the game wasn’t in full effect until the last quarter of regulation. Instead, we saw the typical nonaggressive defense that we continue to see from Sutton during his time in Kansas City. The Chiefs defense is one of the most effective defenses when blitzing, yet we rarely see it. Why?

This is simply incorrect. We didn't see the defense play better in the 4th upon some set of mythical adjustments; it played virtually identically in the 2nd to how it played in the 1st. They had a shit drive in the 1st quarter when they had their base personnel in and were keeping Parker in the box. They did it again to start the 3rd. The Chiefs didn't blitz because you don't blitz a friggen option with QB that can blast around it. Meanwhile the Chiefs brought blitzes on clear passing situations.
This entire article is just rife with nonsensical ramblings and flat ****ing factual inaccuracies. This idea that we didn't sell out to stop the run is complete lunacy; we spent a significant majority of that game in our base packages with Parker often sneaking down into the box before getting smoked out of it. Ragland and Hitchens were on the field for 70% of our snaps in that game and the dude wants to act like we were just chilling in Nickel the whole game.
Lord God people - pay attention to what you're parroting. A byline doesn't mean you have a single clue what you're talking about.
Seriously - if that's what you're hanging your hat on, just stay home. I was hoping I'd find something interesting in that bit of schlock but should've known better when I had to read for 5 minutes before he said anything about the game he was criticizing at all.
