[QUOTE="ExpatPacker, post: 481449, member: 5535"] I've been wondering about this too. We haven't heard any news on this guy other than his illness in TC. He's been on ST and that's it. People on here are fond of saying that it's not Dom Capers doing the tackling, but I have to be honest: this defense is very inconsistent. Capers' use of the prevent was a disaster. Yet he keeps using it. It was obvious to me that the DBs don't know their assignments well enough which is why the Vikings' receiver was left wide open on that crucial 3rd-and-11. That's the problem with the prevent--the defense doesn't play it enough to do it effectively. Some of it is personnel. Our LB core is decimated. Walden is out of gas and Brad Jones is no Desmond Bishop. Neither of our top 2 rookies Perry nor Worthy developed enough during the season to make a real impact, Perry due to injury. But this defense is soft, it has been soft, and part of that is practicing and leadership. I just can't have much confidence in this defense, which is why I'm skeptical about us going very far in the playoffs. With this defense, how can anyone be confident that we're going to beat the Vikings on Saturday? Here's a contrast: Houston did everything to stop the run and held AP to 85 yards. The difference between the two defenses is dramatic. Houston tackles 10x better than we do. They are tough, yes they take too many chances and get burned sometimes, but they have a hard-nosed mentality and it shows. [/QUOTE]
