Just alarmingly mismanaged.

This is the absolute truth, he let those guys get torched over and over and over and didn't do a damn thing about it besides the ignorant change of putting Branch on the slot.

You have to keep moving and adjusting or you fall behind.

This is 100% true as well.

And again more truth, they were KILLING manning with the blitz until Sutton let off the gas and started dropping them... and is it TOO much of a stretch to get Ford on the field during passing downs?
Fact is, the guy doesn't have a killer instinct or imaginative bone in his body... he uses Rex Ryans scheme, but its like having a pit crew member drive the race car.
Sutton deserves a BIG share of the blame.
