Shields Should Get Nod In Nickel
The Packers would just be wasting time playing Brandon Underwood or Pat Lee ahead of Sam Sheilds.
Dr. Strangelackofblitz or: How I Learned To Stop Worrying And Love the Defense
Packer fans love to worry. There’s just no need to yet when it comes to the defense.
The Dom Capers Bag Of Tricks
As usual, there seems to be a never-ending supply of defensive schemes and surprises at the disposal of Dom Capers.
What’s With The Cushion In the Secondary?
Again and again on Saturday night we saw the secondary giving the Browns’ receivers huge cushions. Why?
The More Things Change…
Dom Capers will not sleep well tonight after watching all the same issues pop-up for his defense against the Browns.
“Less Volume, More Creativity”
Mike McCarthy had some interesting signs posted in each of his coordinator’s offices.
Improve From Within: Dom Capers
Dom Capers needs to blitz more. It’s a cliche, but only because its true.
Final Point: Defense
Dom Capers will be tasked with solving the pass defense issues. It’s a good bet he’s counting on a deep rotation on the defensive line.
Tandem and Bunch Formations: Capers’ Kryptonite
An excellent look at the offensive concepts that gave Capers’ defense such problems last year.
Red Zone Defense To Be Capers’ Focus
Dom Capers will spend a good deal of OTAs, MiniCamp and training camp concentrating on Red Zone defense. Jersey Al has got the goods.
Why Are The Packers Screwing Around W/Poppinga?
Playing Brady Poppinga ahead of Brad Jones makes little to no sense.
Offseason Moves Point To More Man Coverage
Dom Capers must adjust his coverage schemes to fit the personnel on hand, rather than forcing them to play zone coverage – poorly.
Packers Counting On Capers
The Packers like to preach “improve from within” when talking about the younger players on their roster. It’s starting to look like that mantra extends to the coaching staff as well.
New Players Will Only Help Capers So Much
It will take more than a handful of rookies to help the Packers defense improve in the areas where it fell short last season. Most importantly, coordinator Dom Capers must ensure that every member of his squad has a thorough understanding of the defensive system.
Another Inflexible Coordinator?
Really interesting quote from Aaron Kampman (via Greg Bedard’s Packers Daily Briefing): I love getting after the passer. I have a year’s worth of built up energy to get back out there and get back after the quarterback and I look forward to doing it.I haven’t been in my stance. All off-season last year, they [...]
Secondary Is Most Pressing Issue
With Chad Clifton back in the fold, the beleaguered Packers secondary is now the number one area of concern for the Green Bay Packers, no matter what Mike Vandermause would have you believe. Simply put, yes, the Packers need someone to compliment Matthews. But they need SEVERAL players to shore up a secondary that allowed [...]
Focus On Pass Rush Will Improve Secondary
Going back and watching the losses to the Vikings, Steelers, and Cardinals (yes, I am a glutton for punishment) its easy to see why fans and pundits alike say that infusing the secondary with fresh talent is a huge priority. I tend to think the Packers are better off at corner than at safety, and [...]
On Defense, It’s (Mostly) The Players
Good stuff from Tom Silverstein today about McCarthy needing to get to the bottom of the issues his defense had against the likes of the Cardinals and Steelers – namely, teams with good QBs and deep recieving corps that spread the Packers out and threw the ball all over the yard. As McCarthy noted: Trust [...]
#1 Run Defense: A Paper Tiger?
It would sure seem like it from the way the Cardinals tore through them with Hightower and Wells yesterday. I was worried about the possibility but thought they would do a better job of controlling them after watching how well they did corralling Adrian Peterson and Marion Barber. Of course, the big difference was Wisenhunt sticking with [...]
Missed Adjustment
Good stuff from Matt Bowen over at the National Football Post regarding last nights game. I couldn’t agree more with the following: Missed adjustment by Capers? …the Cardinals were doing the same thing we saw from Ben Roethlisberger and the Steelers in December when they tore up the Packers’ secondary. Rub routes, combination routes out [...]
Dom Capers vs. Mike Nolan Revisited
Remember when the Broncos started 6-0 and everyone who watches NFL football was saying how the Broncos had clearly made a better hire than the Packers and how McDaniels had clearly gotten the better coordinator? That’s why you let the season play out folks. Not only has Dom Capers directed a unit that finished second [...]
Baranczyk Nails It
Pitch perfect here from Baranczyk: I hate to throw a knife at Dom Capers, but that game came down to the final series and I don’t think they used Woodson properly. They had him at safety instead of on the edge on the outside receivers. I think you need to cover their receivers with your [...]
