[QUOTE="HardRightEdge, post: 527899"] It goes a lot further than losing Collins. - Jenkins was let go with no suitable replacement. - Woodson did not return to form after breaking his collarbone in the Super Bowl. - Tramon Williams broke his collarbone in week 1 of 2011, an injury from which he's still not fully recovered, judging from his conversion from a press-coverage guy to an off-coverage guy coupled with his lackluster tackling. In my opinion, Woodson's 2010 season was even better than his DPOY 2009 season; Collins was a Pro Bowl player in 2010; Williams was the Pro Bowl first alternate at CB in 2010 and landed a big contract as the high-second-tier cover corner he was that season. So, we permanently lost one Pro Bowler. Two other stars fell to ordinary status due to injury, with Woodson projected to twilight-safety duty before the season was out. And we lost a very productive 3-down DE/DT swing man. And for reasons that are still not fully explained beyond the "Super Bowl hangover" affect, Raji's and Hawk's performances in 2011 fell far short of their best career seasons in 2010. Conclusion: Capers D worked well when he had an accomplished, healthy, veteran group of playmakers at the peak of their talents. Not so well since. This might fall into the "that's all to be expected" category, except for the fact the defense fell into "business decision" play as soon as Rodgers went down. That needs to be laid at the feet of the coaches. I find suspect the argument that Capers has to rely on the position coaches who should bear the brunt. An NFL defensive squad is comprised of about 30 players including the PS guys. There's a DC and 6 position coaches. That's a ratio of 7 chiefs to 30 Indians. Any leader/"supervisor" working under that ratio should be hands-on to a large degree. Either he is and is failing, or he isn't and is in dereliction of duty. Choose your poison. [/QUOTE]
