Also, if you're saying that if you give Spags the talent he can get the D to average, then you're also ignoring the fact that Sutton did the same thing (and beyond) with a more talented Chiefs defense. And given that, is the problem really the coordinator, or the personnel department?

I think it’s been pretty obvious the talent is the problem going back to last year, last offseason, and early on this year, but after yet another playoff loss due to the defense it’s really hard not to say Sutton has played a role in things getting this bad.
Also, with Ford, Houston, and Jones this defense shouldn’t have been THAT bad. Especially when you consider Hitchens and Fuller not looking anything like the players they were in 2017.
We have to be one of the few defenses in history to have that many sacks and be that bad.
