KG Steps Down

Its inconsistent and can be taken away with a good O line. Perry and Neal can get better (or should).

But you are mostly right, the biggest problem is in the DTs.

you're absolutely right about it being a sack or nothing, that is the big problem

an opposing QB needs to fear that he could get hit on every single play and with us, thats not the case at all. there's times when we've sent 5 or 6 and the QB still has all day in the pocket

i think its the d-linemen not doing their job, they're suppose to be eating up multiple blockers. when hawk or jones comes on a delayed blitz and theres an o-linemen just standing there waiting for them, then to me, in this system, thats on the d-line fail

Pete Dougherty (GBPG) was on local radio and said the following:

5. Said he is always crowd favorite at camp because of volume and enthusiasm, but that is not always indicative of quality coaching

first practice i saw him coach at, the team broke off into groups and the pass rushers and 0-tackles came and worked out right in front of me. 1v1. greene was yelling and screaming the whole time, all positive, trying to fire the guys up. if a pass rusher failed, greene jumped right in to show the guy what they should have done, then he would turn to the o-lineman and gave him pointers on how to combat what he just showed. if he saw an OT do anything wrong, greene jumped in and showed him how he could be exploited doing that, then tried to correct him

every other coach on the field except M3 was just standing around watching their guys. greene was the only one trying to teach in the middle of practice. and he was teaching others, not just his group

thats when i gained respect for him as a coach

[Smidgeon]

I remember this scene, and I haven't seen the movie for (maybe?) 20 years.

[Striker]

Sucks to see him go...but I can understand if it's due to the hours...or just being fed up with Capers/the personnel.

Hopefully they can bring someone else in with that attitude...don't necessarily want to see them promote from within.

Pete Dougherty (GBPG) was on local radio and said the following:

1. He's not buying the spending time with family reason, but its just a general suspicion nothing confirmed yet
2. Questions his effect on players after first year (mentions Perry and D Moses)
3. Says Green was an advocate for Ricky Elmore and Nate Palmer, neither of which were ready to play OLB in the NFL
4. Thinks this would be Capers call more than McCarthy although did not specify why
5. Said he is always crowd favorite at camp because of volume and enthusiasm, but that is not always indicative of quality coaching


One thing not mentioned but I wonder if it played a part, Eric Walden still has a starting job with the Colts D and that D played pretty well.

as for walden. i think thats a case of a guy starting because the front office fucked up and paid him starter money. just like brad jones

walden played in 15 games this year and had a whopping 26 tackles and 3 sacks. the same kind of numbers he had his last 3 years in GB

so its not like he went somewhere else and played lights out

If you polled rats on which coach they least wanted to see go, it'd be Greene.

Damn.

Doesn't Slocum miss his family?

I think his own dog growls at him when he goes home.

[bobblehead]

So why has no one tried to hire Capers away from GB?

Because he is too old. He has had chances (and been somewhat successful) as a headcoach, but now he is at that age where you generally don't give anyone not named Parcells another shot.

Did I mention 5 other times that I saw Walden get optioned for first downs twice (that I caught) by alex smith?

I'm kinda high on Edgar Bennet to be honest. Maybe we should make him DC, but I still want Tim Lewis.

The Colts D collapsed in the playoffs like Green Bay's the year before.

Old and incompetent.

[PaCkFan_n_MD]

Thought he was a solid coach and I'm sure he stepped down on his own terms. For some reason I'm not all that disappointed he is leaving. Probably because I think the main problems on defense stem from just a pure lack of talent.

** From 2009-13 the Green Bay Packers Defense, had a Total of 204 SACKS... (4th Best over that period in the NFL).


** OLB Coach Kevin Greene saw his LBers record 91.5 of those 204 SACKS or 44.8 % of them.


** In 2009 or Kevin Greene's first season with the Packers. As OLB Coach he helped the Green Bay Defense to a No. 2 overall ranking in the NFL. That was the best finish for a Green Bay Packer 'D' since 1996, when that Packer 'D' led the NFL.


** with Kevin Greene’s coaching, LB Clay Matthews earned four straight Pro Bowl selections (2009-12). CM III also became the first player in franchise history to be named...
to the all-star game in each of his first four seasons in the league.

These facts amount to strong credits for any Kevin Greene Resume.

Your going to be missed Coach Kevin Greene.
