Dom Capers?

[Harlan Huckleby]

BATES.....call him, beg him, offer him HC money and assistant HC job. He turned our defense around once already and I think its time to set ego's aside and get the master of the bates system back.

edit: Just read his wikipedia. He still lives in wisconsin. He also got bumped in '07 as DC of the broncos for...get this....bob slowik. The broncos defense went from 9th to 29th. Nice.

Will we bring back Sanders too - groom him to be Bates' successor?

Pass on the 3-4 scheme. Kampman is a 4-3 end. Asking AK to drop into coverage during a zone blitz would be disasterous.

Plus the scheme could prevent the Packer from making the playoffs. Tweaking the 4-3 with increased innovative blitzing gives the Packers a better chance to make the playoffs. The players are in place combined with the draft and free agency.

Love the 3-4 but not for the Packers.

Kamp would be a DE, not an OLB. 3-4 DE's don't cover except the rare slant/hook zone drop, something that he already does. The SOLB/WOLB on his side would be the blitzer/coverage guy. Depending on the 3-4 scheme run, he would line up in the RG-RT gap or across from the RT (same as now, but not angled out wide). Right now the best 3-4 SOLB on our roster is Poppinga, the best WOLB on our roster is Thompson.

In the zone blitz package sometimes the de drops into coverage while other positions rush the qb. This is one of the attributes -- confusion in the passing lanes. Its a nice guessing game with the qb. However it does take time to implement properly.

Kampman rarely did this previously Agreed the scheme helps Poppinga.

i'm fine with him. if they like him they need to offer him the job and stop looking or someone else will get him. MM shops like a women. go everywhere, touch/smell/taste everything, can't decide.

He did it quite a few times early in the season and in preseason, but tailed off toward the end.

I don't know what happened to Sanders playcalling, early on it was pretty good. In PS and the first quarter of the season they were using that 2 DE, 4 LB blitz on 3rd and long, that disappeared. Kamp dropped a bit with overload blitzes on the other side, that disappeared. The sneaky zone coverage that Wood was in when he got the pick 6 in Tampa was a brilliant playcall.

After the 1/4 point of the season his playcalling went way downhill. That Wood blitz against NO was one of the worst playcalls I've seen. The unbalanced line shift against Carolina, where one of their audibles and best plays is a power sweep to the weak side of that shift is even worse, as was dropping Monty into downfield coverage on Deangelo Williams.

This is how I pictured myself as a youth in bars with women.

Never worked out that way, though.

McCarthy is reported to also be interested in interviewing Dom Perignon, reported to have a very bubbly approach to defense.

[RashanGary]

I like the idea of hiring someone from the pats. I like it a lot. 3-4, 4-3, if it's the right guy, I'm OK.

[TennesseePackerBacker]

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't Dom Capers that tough son of a bitch that was really tough on his players? They likened him to a drillmaster, the "Coughlin" before Coughlin was coaching the Giants. That attitude could be just what a defense which really lacked attitude and guts(not to mention talent) last season needs. That resume' isn't too shabby either.

[steve823]

I like it but who knows whats gunna happen. They said the same thing for nolan and williams. Hopefully this time they actaully get him.

[Fritz]

I'm still a McDermott fan, but Capers or Haslett, well, okay. Either would be better than Butter Bob Sanders. Waldo thinks this team could easily switch to a 3-4, though I'm not so sure myself.

McCarthy just doesn't seem to favor old guys who have worn out their welcomes elsewhere.

Probably a good trait.

McCarthy would therefore dislike about half this board, including me, who have moved over from the old JSO board.
