Bob Sutton didn't have a this is too difficult to learn problem. He had a "none of this shit makes any sense" problem. There really wasn't any plan with his coverages beyond please hold up long enough somehow till the passrush can arrive. There was no logic and he hardly ever adjusted. Steve Spagnuolo seems to think he's the 4-3 Romeo Crennel all of a sudden in terms of delegating assignments when in he really just looks like another Clancy Pendergast. |

His coverage stuff, OTOH, was a little more convoluted but even then, by the end, he'd dumbed it down a LOT. So much so that he got blasted for Brady's ease in picking apart the zones based on alignment. By the end of the season, Sutton was doing exactly what people were claiming he needed to do - simple assignments and simple responsibilities. And then THAT got him barbecued. Sometimes you can put guys in positions to fail regardless of what they do. Sutton occasionally did that (Spags seems to be doing that often). But oftentimes you can put a scheme out there that would work if the 11 guys on the field would just do their damn jobs. And for far too long we haven't found the 11 guys we need to make that happen. The only argument in favor of Spags over Sutton was that Spags more hands-on and fiery demeanor could actually spur some of these guys to do things that Sutton's reserved and cerebral approach wasn't accomplishing. Seems pretty clear at this point that it's not having the desired effect.

Complicated Scheme.
That McClain came into and immediately performed on his first day. Because he wasn't trying to do someone else's job on every snap. These guys just don't play together worth a damn, man.

God damn that was embarrassing from Schwartz. It doesn't even make sense... He had a chip on the outside by Williams so why was he playing Watts outside shoulder in the first place?

That wasn't a good rep from Mitch, to be clear. He got beat pretty damn badly. But most guys wouldn't have made him look like that big of an idiot. Frank Clark would've stuck to him like glue (we've seen it 100 times already). But Watt's actually, y'know, good. So when he handily wins a rep, it shows up pretty loudly.

We just see too many guys jump in different gaps, not be disciplined. The best defenses around the league do quite a few things pretty much the same. First they tackle and they're disciplined. WE're neither. |

I just finished re-watching the first half. I really only watched the Chiefs' defensive snaps, and only the DL.
McClain actually does a nice job when he's in. He's not getting great penetration, but he's doing his job, so far as I can tell, and I couldn't find anything he did that was just wrong. Just competent play. Nnadi had a few mishaps that resulted in big plays, though one I think was play design. It's hard to tell; He jumps to the right hard directly into a double team, which isn't the worst part of the play. Saunders is there, and it's obvious from the get go that Saunders is trying to move to his left. When Nnadi jumps into the double team, he effectively becomes another blocker, taking Saunders completely out of the play. I can't believe that's how they drew that up. On another running play, Nnadi does his job at first, but then he tries to duck to his right and maybe make a play on Hyde, but Hyde sees him and just hop-slides the other way. Unfortunately, because Nnadi tries to get inside, he's then blocked out of the play, and he leaves the back door wide open for Hyde to go for 11. If Nnadi had stayed where he was or even cheated slightly to his left, Hyde might've gotten two yards at most. Maybe none. On a side note, I was surprised at how many times the Texans double-teamed Saunders. In the first half he was doubled at least four times, right at the snap. At least two other times when a tackle came over to help the guard. It was hard to tell just how well Saunders was playing. The doubles negated any push he might've gotten. When he was singled, he wasn't getting great penetration, but he wasn't getting mauled out there either. I did like his awareness. He has a nose for the ball. He seems to know where it is at all times. And he's appears to be a pretty good tackler. |

Good analysis Megatron. For your own mental health I’d stop the tape there
