Could be better, but it's not Dabollian.

I am worried about that too. Believe me, I'm cautiously optimistic.
But that failure was the result of the classic Patriot Way failure where you insist on running a 2-gap, even if you don't have the personnel to do it and even though the defense was growing outdated.
Sutton's defense is going to resemble Rex Ryan's defense much more than it did the Mangini 2-gap. I hope it works out. At least we know he's going to come here with something much different than what he used before.
