The reason that the 9ers were able to pass so freely against us and not against the seahawks or the colts is because we DO NOT play much man to man coverage and we DO NOT press the WR's off the line. The seahawks have big physical DB's who man handle the WR's. Indy saw what the seahawks did and just copied it and it worked. Capers however must either be to damn stubborn to adjust or have a lack of faith that our guys couldn't execute man to man vs the 9ers because that zone crap sure has enough holes in it that eventually the WR will find a hole and sit and wait for the pass. I sure do miss the days of Al Harris roughing up the WR's for the first 5 yards and by then they were off their route or rythem.
I definitely agree, and that is why I said I blame the game more on coaching. But there were a lot of mental errors as well.
I think House may have that ability but just have to see it more consistently. He has the size and the demeanor to do it, just not sure Capers wants that. He is a very opportunistic coordinator and the off coverage allows the corners to see the play better, make jumps on the ball. We will have to see on that.
But you cant look at those stats and say the Packers are doing anything but ******** the bed on defense. Yeah there are some good signs here and there but they rank in the bottom 5 for just about everything but rushing defense.
