[QUOTE="longtimefan, post: 473272, member: 145"] According to PFFs numbers, the Packers defense has been beaten through the air repeatedly over the last two weeks in part because pressure has rarely accompanied Capers blitz calls. The numbers tell the story. [B]Capers blitzed 12 times Sunday against the Arizona Cardinals: Seven times with Brad Jones, four with A.J. Hawk and once with rookie Jerron McMillian.[/B] [B]Those calls resulted in zero pressures,[/B] as Cardinals quarterback John Skelton completed eight of 12 passes for 130 yards and a touchdown ([B]130.6 passer rating) against the blitz.[/B] The Packers actually put [B]pressure on Skelton 13 of the 36 times when Capers didn,t bring an extra man. His passer rating when not blitzed plummeted to 48.2.[/B] A week earlier, Capers[B] blitzed Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Blaine Gabbert 21 times. Three pressures came from the calls, including a sack each from Jones and Morgan Burnett[/B]. But much like Skelton, [B]Gabbert completed 14 of 19 passes for 143 yards and a touchdown against the blitz for a passer rating of 112.4.[/B] Again, when Capers didn't blitz, Gabbert had a passer rating of just 60.4.
