[QUOTE="FrankRizzo, post: 491582, member: 2232"] Let's take a look at the differences between the 2011 & 2012 Packer defenses. First, in personnel: We had new starters at safety, ILB (because Bishop was out), and OLB. Our DL depth was bolstered. Woodson was moved. Tramon was much healthier than in 2011. The pass rush, mostly because of the additions of Perry & Moses, were much improved, at least early in the season. Mike Neal got back in October and he provided some juice on the DL getting after QB's. I know TJV thinks I emphasize too much on the SF game, but the fact is we have to be able to beat them and/or the Giants, and we didn't look anywhere close to being able to beat those teams last year or in the playoffs the year before, and that's much to do with the defense. I believe it's almost all on the front 7. I like our DBs and I believe Jerron McMillian has the goods to become a good starter along side Burnett. I don't expect anything at all from Worthy next year, if ever. I didn't like what I saw from him. Desmond Bishop's recovery will be crucial. Hawk has never shown that he can be a + difference-maker. At best, he's a dependable guy who stays healthy and doesn't Eff up too badly. But where is he? What big plays does he make? Maybe 3 in his 7 seasons? I personally feel we need a new ILB there who can be an 8-year starter from day-one. They're found every year in the draft and you don't have to use a #5 overall pick to get him (like Hawk). IMO, this is a do-or-die season for Dom Capers. Getting torched by Adrian Peterson is acceptable. But the week of preparation for Colin Kaepernick and the result, that was historically terrible. He'd started about 8 games before that so there was plenty of film on him. And he didn't do anything near that against Atlanta or Baltimore after our game. Losing happens, but the defense cannot be embarrassed like that. Compete like men. [/QUOTE]
