MM has made adjustments

[wist43]

I'll just take my GIF comments for Leg to the Romper Room so this can go back to discussing Capers, who currently helms the 13th ranked scoring defense (with no bye week yet), 14th ranked yards defense, 19th ranked by profootballreference and 10th ranked by DVOA at Football Outsiders. If only he knew what he was doing better than his peers.

The Packers were dead last in yds last year - set a league record for futility; 6 sacks in the last 7 games; yet it was all sunshine and lollipops for you max - no criticism allowed!!

I've said many times that TT went out and addressed the problem in large measure with an entire draft dedicated to fixing the problem. Capers has more to work with this year; Capers is as decorated as any DC in the league and is entirely capable of producing a lights out game plan. He also entirely capable of producing an idiotic game plan, and refusing to adjust.

My main criticism of Capers is his nature of preferring coverage to pressure; and playing passive fronts. He's come out with 2 good game plans in a row - next week he is just as likely to give up 500+ yards to the woeful Jaguars. I don't think that will happen b/c the Jaguars are probably the worst team in the league, but I don't put anything past Capers. I don't trust him, and never will.

Wist, to the extent that you get "castigated" (nice word choice!), it seems to generally be for your strong tendency to take everything over-the-top: MM is a stubborn moron. TT is an idiot. Capers is gay and likes frilly things. I (wist) know how to make the Packers better and it is so simple (implying anyone that doesn't agree is dense or doesn't know football).

I am a firm believer in the free market. Capers, TT and MM represent three individuals that in their respective fields the free market has born out that they know more than anyone on this forum. As an Internet poster and fan, I recognize the difference in football intelligence between me and my fellow Internet forum posters and a paid professional at the highest level of competition. Surely, they can make mistakes and be criticized but at the same time I recognize that they are doing what they do for a reason, not because they are braindead.

IMO, if you held back from the over-the-top portions of your posts, people would be much more receptive to your insights (which you always seem to have thought-out and can provide a basis for).

Are you delusional? I guess the fact you think there was no criticism of the D last year says it all. Nobody was happy with the way the defense played. The only positive posts were by those who were thankful that at least the defense was forcing turnovers.

Against the Rams the Packers played their 3 man front on quite a few 3rd downs, and I believe it worked every time.

I think it's a Thing with a hammer to which everything looks like a nail. But I could be wrong. On the assumption that I am not, though, I have to conclude that it's a metaphor for Monday Morning QBing run amock mixed with eternal pessimism.

Cierto. It's Maslow's hammer.

I suppose I can understand how Capers's defense doesn't have aesthetic appeal for some fans. Ed Donatell was the same way. Schurmer is probably the only GB DC since the Dark Ages who cultivated the kind of physical defense that some fans crave. But even his defenses had their ups and downs--and probably far more of them than Capers's. If you think TT does an adequate or better job of stocking the team with talent then judge Capers by his total body of work from 2009 through present. In scoring the defense has ranked 7th (2009), 2nd ('10), 19th ('11) and 13th ('12 so far). In yards allowed, 2nd ('09), 5th, ('10), 32nd ('11) and 21st ('12 to date). Last year the defense was a statistical disappointment (but still managed to be part of an epic regular season record), but overall the stats indicate a much better than average record of success.

I'm watching the Big Bang Theory -

Leonard's mom: Your uncle died.

Leonard: OMG, what happened?

Leonard's mom: His heart stopped beating. I have to urninate.

My "deep" analysis?? She is stupid, if she'd have urinated earlier, Leonard's uncle would still be alive.

Yes, I understand I am not a doctor, and therefore unqualified to offer such an analysis - yet, there it is

Welcome to the internet comrades.

And the #1 defense at sacking the QB. This is truly a HUGE improvement over last season. We have to remember we have a boat load of kids starting on our defense too so I believe this group will only get better as the season progresses.

This forum is awash in Homers - if you point out a flaw, you're a traitor. I pointed out this particular flaw from game 1 and was predictably castigated for it.

That would be me.

I do appreciate your contrarian perspective, although a bit monotonous in tone, I'm glad their is a dissenting viewpoint which generates discussion.

Your points might be better taken if not routinely hyperbolic. Just a thought.

Dear Wist,

Official note: We want to keep the Packers area viewable at work for the most part. Cussing is allowed and really images are the biggest issue so I dont think the removal was unjustified. I stand by any decision a mod makes.

Personal note: Shut your correction fluid face the hell up and get back to being the local debbie downer before I bench your ass and put ATLPackfan in your spot!
