All I’ve said is that he’s an upgrade, but we still need to get much better personnel wise.

There was a phrase uttered by a wise man who once posted here a lot (and still does, occasionally):
Better than bad does not = good.
There is precious little evidence that his scheme is better suited to stop a spread, especially since you keep conflating his old base defense with the common base defense run in the modern game.
And you know how I know you're just rehashing shit?
Bob Sutton's most common base defense in 2017 was basically the Packers' Nitro Package: 3 S and 3 CB. He wasn't even running the old Rex Ryan D the vast, vast majority of the time.
