Very nice breakdown of how we got from "more scheme, less personnel" to Clay Matthews at ILB. Reasons behind "the Quad", the personnel goal and how it has shaken out from Week 1 versus the Seahawks to now.
This might be behind the paywall, if it is let me know. Because then it will be clear its garbage.
And a bonus, almost gratuitous shot at PackerRats doubters:“It doesn’t take you long to figure out if something is a good idea or not a very good idea, based on how it works,” Capers said. “I think if you talk to any player in that locker room on defense, they know that when we put the game plan up there and we go out and practice the game plan, if something’s not looking real good, then I have a hard time calling it because you don’t want to be experimenting when you have 60, 65 plays on Sunday. If something looks good, it’s going to get called. If it works, it gets called more. If it doesn’t work, we’re going to try to search to find something that’s going to work better. That’s just the way this thing works. It’s not rocket science. It’s common sense. There’s a reason why you do everything but if it’s nothing, then you’ve got to try to move on to something else. You can’t get so locked into one thing that you become stubborn, or else you’re not going to get any better.”
“You’ve heard me say before that to me the key is to figure out who your best players are and then try to adjust your scheme around your best players,” Capers said. “I think that’s what we’ve tried to do. Obviously, we look a lot different now than we did in the first game."Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.Comment

Agreed. Last week Hyde and Hayward played 32 and 9 snaps respectively (out of 55 total). They need more out of Hayward for sure. Hyde could be the hero of this game if he plays (tackles) well.Originally posted by pbmax View PostOne time Lombardi was disgusted with the team in practice and told them they were going to have to start with the basics. He held up a ball and said: "This is a football." McGee immediately called out, "Stop, coach, you're going too fast," and that gave everyone a laugh.

Casey has been a little of a lost man again this season, I think he had another injury in camp (very brief one?) that seemed to put him behind Hyde again.Originally posted by Maxie the Taxi View Post
But when you need a guy to play in a zone and find the ball and receiver, he is the guy.
In fact, I am calling for a Casey Hayward INT tomorrow.Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.Comment

Here's a key quote:Originally posted by pbmax View PostVery nice breakdown of how we got from "more scheme, less personnel" to Clay Matthews at ILB. Reasons behind "the Quad", the personnel goal and how it has shaken out from Week 1 versus the Seahawks to now.

And a bonus, almost gratuitous shot at PackerRats doubters:
Barrington's play has come up huge since he's been in there. My question is: Why is Capers taking so long in phasing out Jones completely? He played 8 snaps against the Cowgirls and had, what, two big, killer penalties?The move of Matthews and the defense’s renaissance are tied together but the insertion of Sam Barrington into the lineup at inside linebacker has paid dividends, too. Barrington started the final five games of the regular season and has provided the physical play that’s been lacking at that position since Desmond Bishop emerged as a star for the Super Bowl team. With Matthews and Barrington taking the lion’s share of the reps at inside linebacker, A.J. Hawk’s role has been reduced and Brad Jones has been phased out of everything other than the dime package. That’s led to a much better middle of the defense.One time Lombardi was disgusted with the team in practice and told them they were going to have to start with the basics.

OK, McCarthy Friday Presser. Packers flew out on Friday to Seattle rather than the usual Saturday trip. My guess is that this is a Sports Conditioning/Nutrition Science Guy's suggestion. Packers now do a full and energetic walkthrough on Saturday so they don't go into Sunday games cold after a day off. This is new this season, a season of very good health and some very fast starts in games. It seems easier to do this on-site rather than at home where you would need to rest, recover, shower up and then sit on a plane for 3 hours. I believe I read in preseason that this is the norm for Olympic athletes.
Would also bet M3 likes the idea of a day to move the body clock backward so the Noon Pacific (2 PM CST) start seems normal. Seachickens will be up and playing an hour earlier than normal. I like this.

Game is a testament to training whole team and not just the starters. A lot of young, late-round/undrafted guys will play for both teams.

Anyone have any ideas what Farrar is talking about here, or do I need to download his podcast (he does it with Greg Cosell)?
Doug Farrar @SI_DougFarrar 22h22 hours ago
Great point from @gregcosell in this week's podcast -- Packers running Eddie Lacy at the one-tech out of shotgun. Seattle in a pickle there.Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.Comment

I believe this is the pay that wist likes to claim proves Capers is unsound. Its a triple option, Matthews at OLB has Lynch, Shields has wide contain and therefore Wilson and HHCD has Lockette. HHCD blows the tackle despite getting into good if not great position. Packers are in the 4-3 Quad look I believe.
Worst part? Lynch was open for a shovel pass as well because Matthews followed the ball and not his play assignment.

Note combo block on NT and Lang moving to cut off pursuit playside. Not a ZBS play, but Power I believe.
I am not convinced zone won't work against this team, though Lacy may not be the back to run it. Unlike the Cowboys here, Chancellor will fill hard and fast playside. You should be able to put him completely out of position with a cutback. Starks could make hay against him.

Seattle special teams about as non-special as Packers ST.
Packers 22nd overall, Seachickens 19th. Leverage here is Seattle KO(11) versus Green Bay KO return(22) and Packer Punt Return (4th-mostly Hyde I would argue) versus Jon Ryan's punt coverage (21).Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs.

Blitz Rodgers? Quite possibly yes:
The Seahawks' percentages for sending four, five, or six pass rushers are roughly equal to the NFL average, with the standard four pass rushers about two-thirds of the time. But the difference in yards per play as they sent more and more pass rushers was extreme. Seattle this year allowed 7.5 yards per pass with three pass rushers, 5.8 with the standard four, 4.7 with five, and 3.7 with six.* (Not six or more, as ESPN Stats & Information never recorded a 7-man pressure from the Seahawks.) And although opponents didn't often blitz against Aaron Rodgers this year -- only four starting quarterbacks faced more than four pass rushers less often -- he got successively worse with more pass rushers, with 8.2 yards per pass against four but 6.7 against five and 6.4 against six or more. Rodgers had no problem against DB blitzes (8.7 yards per pass) but that's a strategy Seattle rarely uses (5.5 percent of passes, 30th in the NFL).*Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.Comment
