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 didn’t [...]
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 a [...]
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 me, [...]
#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 of the [...]
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 overall in [...]
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 best [...]
Dom Capers Blows It
Blame Mason Crosby. Blame Jarrett Bush. Blame Josh Bell.
Just be sure you leave some blame for Dom Capers.
After the Packers went 6-10 last season, Bob Sanders and a whole slew of defensive coaches were let go for two main reasons. Their defense couldn’t stop the run and it couldn’t close out the game after the [...]
Say It: Jarrett Bush Had A Solid Day
The man Packer fans love to hate, Jarrett Bush, had a pretty solid day against the Bears.
Yes, he had yet another penalty on special teams, and yes he allowed a completion here and there – but so did Charles Woodson for goodness sake. From scrimmage, overall, Bush was fine. The play below is a perfect [...]
