[QUOTE="Sunshine885500, post: 244971, member: 1568"] It is good that you got your records from the (Team Encyclopedias and Records - Pro-Football-Reference.com), but what you are stating is only a part of the game. Yes he was able to have success initially, but I never said that he was a great Talent Scout or Head Coach. I believe that he is a great coordinator, but as with any professional sport if you don't get an infusion of talent each year to work with then eventually things will go downhill. Injuries, lack of competition, & coaching styles will all play into success & failure. I strongly believe in TT as a talent evaluator and MM as a HC. Anyone that watched GB's defense last year has to believe that they have one of the most talented if not best Defensive Coverage Units in the NFL. Just look at the number of Pick 6's they've had last year and two Pro Bowl DB's. Okay they played Press Coverage in a Base 4-3 Defense, but this is do-able in a 3-4 which is what Baltimore plays or they can run a Zone Coverage 3-4 which is what Pittsburgh's base Defense is and mix in some Zone Blitzes. It's all about disguising coverages and throwing different blitz packages in order to pressure the QB. GB's defense which sports: (7 -1st Round Picks, Raji, Harrell, Pickett-Rams, Hawk, Mathews, Barnett, & Woodson-Raiders) (2 - 2nd Round Picks, Collins, & Harris(traded 2nd Rounder to Phil), Pat Lee - reserve) (1 - 5th Round Pick, Kampman) (1 - FA, Bigby) There are also other premium picks on this defense. So in other words Capers has plenty to work with which is why I believe he wanted to come here to GB. I believe he is as talented of a Defensive Coordinator as MM is as a Offensive Coordinator. So may people are critical of Coaches but don't always look at why Coaches succeed or fail. If he is good at adjusting to what the personnel does well to take advantage of match-ups then GB's Defense will do well. He will adjust from 3-4 to 4-3 during situations which will make our defense very tough. Let me give you an example of a Coach that could not adjust to what he supposedly did well. Brian Billick of the Baltimore Ravens was built up as an Offensive Genius however his teams couldn't score any points so they change QB after QB and still could find anyone to run his so called version of the West Coast Offense.
