For years - make that decades, the Packers had D Coordinators who played plain vanilla, totally uncreative defense. In the Lombardi era, we didn't need to do any more than just line up and outplay opponents (even then, though, there was a lot of bend,don't break). In the decades since then, we have NOT had that dominant personnel - and consequently, we've had consistently bad defense - until Capers came along and used schemes and creativity to at least make the D decent. He is EXACTLY what a Ted Thompson GMed team needs as a D Coordinator.
Note: voting for Dom as a Dominator does NOT equate to voting that the defense is dominant.
