As mentioned before, why didnt he rotate the d-line better? They showed ability in wk 17 against SD.
A 3-4 D thrives on the pass rush (and ability) of the linebackers. When Houston/Hali were banged up, why didnt he switch to more 4-3 looks? I know nickel/dime defenses are all the rage, but they dont work when the linebackers/secondary are banged up.
If Sutton's D requires a quick, single high safety, than why didnt he try Berry there in preseason? Berry has world class speed compared to Lewis.
I hope Sutton learns from last yr. One way to start would be to move DeVito to LDE.

Solid questions.
I am not convinced that Abdullah is suited to play as the single high safety.
I do think Berry has the talent to be the very best at it were Sutton to put him there, but I can only speculate that he values the versatility that Berry brings to the defense too much to limit him to that riole.
I'm guessing that,if the Chiefs don't address the FS position in the draft, that it speaks to how they feel about Sanders Commings.
I am skeptical on that.
The lack of rotation has to speak to the lack of confidence they had in the depth.
I also question that.
