[QUOTE="wist43, post: 610328, member: 9839"] I do lay most of the blame on Thompson. His biggest sin is not firing Capers years ago - followed by catering to Capers misguided evaluation and usage of defensive players, which leads to draft picks that don't fit a role, or fill a hole. TT has to be the best GM in the league at drafting good players who misfit the scheme that his team is supposedly playing, i.e. a 3-4. After disasterous results for 3 years running, he and MM finally forced Capers to move to a hybrid 3-4, and play much less 2-4. By changing schemes it made all the miscast front seven players more effective, but it took them 3 years to realize what a mess they had. Also, by drafting Clinton-Dix and signing Peppers - TT actually filled holes in the lineup, and we improved greatly as a result. Then comes this offseason - and what does TT do?? Does he fix the holes at CB and ILB?? No, he drafts a "DB" in the first round - not a CB; and he ignores ILB until the 4th round. As a result, we have only 1 legit outside Corner, and no sub-package ILB's on the roster. Unless they have a secret weapon street FA on the roster that is going to shock everyone - it is entirely likely that we are going to struggle, once again, up the middle; struggle to stop the run; and likely have a ton of communication problems in the back end... all things that have become entirely too characteristic of Capers defenses in Green Bay.
