Ok, 34 is McQuay.
He actually hawks down the ball carrier from the opposite side of the field on the second long gain as well. |

Bend but don't break can look a lot better if the front seven can stop the run without help. Or the OLBs have a big year. I don't see the secondary making the improvement.

Jarvis Jenkins got owned losing leverage, and got driven into the ground.

Ford did a horrible job of setting the edge as well.
I'm afraid he just lacks the strength to ever be a solid run defender. On that play, you can see he's so overwhelmed, he focuses 100% on the blocker, ignoring the ball carrier entirely in the process. Houston disengages as the RB approaches the hole and squeezes inside to stop that play for a 1-2 yard gain. |

The 2014 and 2015 Chiefs defenses finished 7th in yards allowed. Let's at least be honest here. |

Why is it necessary to make stuff up to support an argument? His 2014 and 2015 defenses were near tops in the league. Last year's defense was awful. None of his defenses have been "middle of the road". Not one. |

Except that those 2014 and 2015 defenses that were 2nd and 3rd in points respectively were both 7th in yards. People are stuck on and completely consumed by last year.

How have any of Sutton’s defenses done when it really matters?

Just curious what others think: When you look at the defensive rosters of other teams that did so much better than the Chiefs in 2017, do you see a huge disparity in the talent level?
How would have the Vikings' defense ranked last year if Sutton was coaching it? Or Pittsburgh, if you want a top five 3-4 defense. I'm still floored by the difference between how Houston was used compared to similar players last year and before: "Houston rushed the quarterback on 77 percent of his pass plays last season, when he had 9.5 sacks. His career percentage is 72 percent. As comparisons, Denver's Von Miller rushed the passer 93.3 percent of the time last season and 82.5 percent in his career. Oakland's Khalil Mack went after the QB 95.1 percent of the snaps last season and 89.3 percent of the time in his career." http://www.espn.com/blog/kansas-city-chiefs/post/_/id/24767/chiefs-plan-for-justin-houston-to-rekindle-his-22-sack-season

So are you happy with the current state of the defense? Were you happy with Reid's decision to keep Sutton?
