[QUOTE="Carl, post: 536156, member: 9497"] I may be in the minority, but I'm not convinced Capers should be gone. Maybe he's at fault, maybe he's not, but I don't know. I need more than "the defense is bad, therefore it's Capers' fault." From my point of view as a fan, I have no idea when specific defensive plays should be run or not. I can't see a bad day of defense and specifically say it's on Capers and not any one of the many other defensive coaches. Maybe the linebackers coach was the last guy to go over specific plays with the linebackers right before a blown assignment. IMO, none of this can be determined by a fan. Only the organization can decide whether it's mostly on Capers. Capers has had some very good seasons in Green Bay and some very bad ones. I have a hard time thinking his coaching ability changes from that much year to year. To me, that much variability says it's players. All of the best defenses right now have multiple playmakers like we had a few years ago when our defense was very good. No matter who is the defensive coach next season, he needs more playmakers in order to make it a lot better. Also, every game in which the defense struggles, is see a lot of player errors. Last week is a perfect example when three big plays on three Bears TD drives happened because of player mistakes. The Eagles game is another perfect example when all three Eagles TDs came from big player errors. Could those errors be on Capers not teaching/coaching effectively? Maybe, but again I cannot determine that. Finally, if it is on Capers, it's the play calling, and/or installing the scheme/making sure the players understand it, but not on the scheme itself. The scheme is not the issue as it's the same **** Lebeau as run successfully for years. [/QUOTE]
