    I'm still going to beat that drum of getting rid of Capers. Keep the damn 3-4 if you want, but it's time for something better at the defensive leadership helm.

    have someone in mind? maybe start a thread about the next d-coor. Would be nice to look at some guys while the season is in full swing. In the right place (and with a pass rusher or two) Perry Fewell can be great. I bet you could get him away from the Jags.

    Give hom a street name and a brinks truck if he can replicate the Jags D here
    Swede: My expertise in this area is extensive. The essential difference between a "battleship" and an "aircraft carrier" is that an aircraft carrier requires five direct hits to sink, but it takes only four direct hits to sink a battleship.

    I think Mike Nolan would be a good hire, however, if successful, he's likely gone to a HC gig within 4 years.

    Dennis Thurman is a fantastic DB coach and that is something this Packer team is needing help with. He's been a successful DC under Ryan in several locations. Granted, Ryan likely controlled things, but I think the guy could flourish.

    So first there's talk of canning Capers, and now you're adding Fewell to the fire.

    You must be a Capers crusader.

    Jim Leonhard from Wisconsin is a rising talent in the coaching ranks.

    Its his second year in the coaching ranks!
    Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.

    Leonhard played for the Baltimore Ravens, New York Jets, Denver Broncos, New Orleans Saints, and Cleveland Browns.

    2016 DB Coach Wisconsin
    2017 DC & DB Coach Wisconsin

    Some would say moving from position coach to DC in a year was too big a jump. But he has handled it exceedingly well. Everything I have read and heard about him is that he is very intelligent and well spoken, understands schemes and seems have to have the ability to put players in a position to impact games. Heck, Wisconsin does not have any major blue chip talent, have had some significant injuries at LB and DB and yet continue to put players in positions where they can be successful.

    It would seem that he has taken things he has learned along the way and has been able to implement them with minimal communication errors.

    With Capers and his 20+ years of experience, I continuously see the same communication miscues game after game ?

    I guess the question is how much of the communications issues is the players and how much is the coaching ?
