I'm not saying in any way that we should be comparing Capers to Sanders. But if you look at how we performed under these two coordinators, the packers have been playing better in coverage in Sanders scheme. All I'm suggesting is that they should go back and look at what they did right while playing under Sanders and incorporate that into their new defense.
Because we have people more propense to the man coverage than the zone coverage.
And not only that, when the opposing qb is playing straightly 3 step drops and quick releases, you got to bump the receivers to delay the release of the qb, and let your pass rush get to him.
Capers didn't adapt...
I'm not gonna sit here and burn The Dom at the stake. He doesn't have all the right tools at his disposal. Bigby, Hawk, Barnett, Bush....none of these guys are 3-4 material - maybe as back-ups, but we need a different breed. Which kills me to say, knowing TT is more than happy to neglect the O-line for another season and draft defense or receivers or QB's.
I don't buy that. I do buy that some do some things better. Hawk is much better at stopping the run than defending the pass. So are Barnett and Bigby. Bush is just terrible at everything.
It's not a 3-4 4-3 thing IMHO. It's not like with Kampman. But it's more a balance thing. We need a more pass defense MLB, like Ruud. Capers needs to adapt better. Against teams that ran longer routes, and less experienced qbs, we did good. And against the run we did awesomely well.
But against quick routes, we didn't distrub the routes of the Wrs and didn't get to the QB on time.
As they weren't fooled by the zone blitzes, we didn't get to them...
