[QUOTE="TJV, post: 512786, member: 4300"] If you are going to use McGinn's grade for Burnett last season you should also consider his evaluation of Burnett in his ranking of the current 53-man roster: [url]http://www.jsonline.com/sports/packers/ranking-the-packers-b9986681z1-222753441.html[/url] I think the ranking is warranted because of the lack of talent at safety behind him. Whether or not you agree with the specific ranking of #3, it’s clear the Packers played one of the best NFC teams at their stadium without a valuable player on defense, isn't it? As for Capers playing so much zone, that was one of the reasons the Packers did so well controlling the 9ers running game. Remember during the playoff game the Packers played a lot of man coverage which resulted in the DBs not being aware of the QB’s taking off running because their backs were towards him. One of the fixes for that, along with "controlled" pass rushing, is playing a lot more zone. Even so, the scheme accounted for Boldin by doubling and bracketing him and the players didn’t execute. The link you posted in your last post is another example of the players ******** up even though zone coverage was called for at least in part on that play. IOW, it wasn't the zone scheme that screwed up, it was a player. [/QUOTE]
