As I said in my post above, Tex, I agree with you. I don't think it's Capers's fault that his players can't cover or get to the passer. I don't think it's a scheme problem.

Who called a Cover 0 blitz on 3rd and long (might have been 2nd and long) in OT versus the Seahawks that allowed a long Seattle TD to win the game with no safety deep (NFC Championship Game)?Originally posted by Fritz View Post
Everyone has their hand in these failures. Neither one is incompetent. Capers and Thompson don't need to be replaced, they need to find a way to work more seamlessly together. Capers has taken WAY too long to adjust to draft and develop rather than hang on to veterans.
Thompson (and also possibly Capers/Whitt) cannot find corners who can play zone reliably.
Roughly, I think that is why the offense tends to start off with a bang and the defense tends to get better recently. Last year was a weird aberration.Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.Comment

My point would be that it wasn't the call, it was the execution. On a blitz, Wilson shouldn't have time to let his receiver go...and go....and go....and go....
I don't want Thompson replaced; you know that. I want him to get two big playmakers for this defense."The Devine era is actually worse than you remember if you go back and look at it."

I know you don't. But sometimes blitzes don't get home and sometimes players don't make the play.Originally posted by Fritz View Post
This is the adjustment that he and Thompson must make. Sometime you gotta be able to play coverage and it might be a good idea to mix man and zone. But somehow the Packers just can't manage it.Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.Comment

It's not just a matter of No Blame, though. It's the schemes that MAKE the defense right now. Without all that trickery and compensation, we would be a helluva lot worse than we are. As for the times when we get exposed like pbmax mentioned, that's kinda the price you pay - sometimes the other guys outguess you. It's better IMO than playing them straight up and getting beat consistently by teams with better offensive personnel than we have on D.Originally posted by Fritz View PostWhat could be more GOOD and NORMAL and AMERICAN than Packer Football?Comment

I shake my head sometimes. I was looking at a mock draft on NFL.com. They had the Packers taking Shaquill Griffin. I see the NFL comparison is Ladarius Gunter. Makes sense, I thought. I looked at Griffin's 40 time... 4.38."There's a lot of interest in the draft. It's great. But quite frankly, most of the people that are commenting on it don't know anything about what they are talking about."--Ted ThompsonComment

If by that, they mean Griffin is instinctive and a good coverage guy, he sounds like a good pick. Gunter a damn decent even being fairly slow, and you take somebody with similar skills and 4.38 speed, and that's one helluva Corner.What could be more GOOD and NORMAL and AMERICAN than Packer Football?Comment

They must be mocking solely off combine results. Despite testing well, Griffin is listed as anywhere from R3 to R6 on most of the other draft sites. Taking him R1 would have a horde of GB fans yelling "reach!" and getting their pitchforks and torches.Comment

I think I woud be okay with something like this....
29: EDGE T.J. WATT - WISCONSIN
61: CB FABIAN MOREAU - UCLA
93: G DANNY ISIDORA - MIAMI (FLA.)
134: RB SAMAJE PERINE - OKLAHOMA or D'ONTA FOREMAN TEXAS
172: EDGE DAWUANE SMOOT - ILLINOIS
182: DL CHARLES WALKER - OKLAHOMA
212: TE ERIC SAUBERT - DRAKE
247: LB BEN BOULWARE - CLEMSONLast edited by jklowan; 04-16-2017, 09:13 AM.Comment

i really don't like the fact that we've brought in all the top RB prospects
if we draft one in the first 2 or 3 rounds i'm gonna be furious
people keep saying that RB isn't a big hole for the team right now, yet we're taking a nice hard look at all the top ones
if we do draft one early it will be a total fail on TT's part. it will be nothing more then trying to go cheap at a position, when we have tons of free cap space, when we have much greater needsComment

Bet we draft two RBs this year. One in the 4th and one in the 6th or 7thComment

don't know, there were 4 or 5 or so rb's that they've talked too, and it might have just been meetings like at the senior bowl or combineOriginally posted by pbmax View Post
