    the D has a whole new attitude about them this year

    and they are buying into his system 110%, and seem to love it

    its great to see after the last couple of years of vanilla bob

    Yep, liking what i'm reading and what I saw in the first game. The D doesn't have to be dominant, it only has to be good. (and not piss away 4th quarter leads).

      Two preseason games does not a make a season.

      Yes, the results of two preseason games are encouraging. I choose and wait to see how the starting defense responds after a few regular season games before I start giving accolades to Dom Capers.

        I also like what I see. However, as the Packers play more games....more game tape will be available. Teams will study these tapes and make adjustment accordingly. Smart QBs will sniff out CB / S blitzes and make the Packers pay if their coverage doesn't roll over in time.

        BUT - The Packers are playing with a whole new swagger. And they sure are fun to watch!

          Just shows how bad Sanders was basically the same players.

          The attacking and swarming defense is what Packer fans have been waiting for.

            Certainly doesn't hurt that the level of coaching talent seems much higher now. That + intense coaches like Trogvrac (sp) and Greene + players ticked off after a bad year = increased intensity.

            Part of this has to go to MM. I have to believe that he is preaching harder hitting, higher intensity/tempo practices. This team looks nothing like last years team. Especially the OL. They went from finesse last year to just straight up mean so far this year. They look much, much better in run blocking.

              i know the Ds performance led to our demise last year but this is key to me; if the run game is up to snuff i see a div crown and a trip AT LEAST to conference semis....

              i agree with the poster who says the D doesnt have to rise to the level of the reggie/sean jones days but just be stout enough to make key stops 2-4 times a game (mainly 2nd half)

              game tape WILL shake things up tho and clev/buf not good barometers despite 3-4 D and decent QBs

                I'm encouraged more by what's coming out of M3's interviews. His stature is that of a man at peace with himself, like he's seeing the light at the end of the tunnel.

                I can't remember any previous pre-season where his sentences weren't punctuated with sighs and groans. Especially when discussing the "D".

                Having observed that doesn't have me predicting anything for the season ahead by way of results. But I think M3 is glad to have a Capers-run Defense instead of one run by Vanilla Bob.

                      Don't forget one other coach. Darren Perry is a great secondary coach. He was a marginal player who stayed in the league with his wits. He's teaching our cover guys coverage tricks and little reads that are improving their play. I' ve always thought Darren will be a top DC in the NFL and I still do.

                      Those 3 guys are allowing Capers to focus on introducing schemes that take advantage of the guys skills. he knows the personnel groups will be aggressive and know what they are doing. Dom can coordinate and come up with additional schemes that stop the other teams.

                        Forget getting excited about the games, I got excited just reading from McGinn that Capers put Poppinga inside Jenkins and had Jenkins stand up in a two point stance in order to shut down a particular run play.

                        I am out of practice, and its been years, but I think that's called an adjustment. Sounds dangerous!
                        Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.

                          We replaced the two worst coaches on our staff with solid ones. Win or lose things will be far more enjoyable to watch this year.

                          We won't be able to call the defensive schemes from the stands or television as much anymore
                          TERD Buckley over Troy Vincent, Robert Ferguson over Chris Chambers, Kevn King instead of TJ Watt, and now, RICH GANNON, over JIMMY JIMMY JIMMY LEONARD. Thank you FLOWER

                            Adjustment? Are you allowed to do that on defense? Who knew?

                              I look for Dom to eventually intorduce that "muddle" or "shuffle" defense that NE and Indy play from time to time. we have a lot of guys who have been DL's and LB's in their career. Bishop, Kamp, thompson, and Popp could mingle around at the line and then either rush the passer or play the run. That thing is all but impossible to read and could be another arrow in Caper's quiver.

                              A lot better than Sanders and his "single bullet theory".
