[QUOTE="Sunshinepacker, post: 971746, member: 9033"] Joe Barry has, over the entirety of his career as a DC, only coached bad defenses. Last season was his best showing as a DC (by far) and the Packers defense was 22nd in DVOA. He's not a good DC and I doubt that he'll make some scheme change that will turn things around massively. Luckily, the Packers don't play even a mediocre offense for three more weeks (Giants, Jets, Commanders, then the Bills) so the players have time to figure out how to play an admittedly passive scheme that doesn't do a very good job of maximizing individual player skills. The main issue though is that the Packers are playing the best RB in the NFL this week and he might run for 200+ yards against the defense that has shown up to start the season. Again though, fans will recycle the "it's the player(s)" problem and defend poor coaching until it's been a problem for half-a-decade (see MM for the most recent example), so Barry, despite having 5 first rounders playing consistent minutes on defense (I'm removing Jaire and Wyatt), the Packers still can't stop the run and it's now become a much larger issue with the offense sputtering while it incorporates rookies as important pieces. I don't think the defense is going to keep the team from making the playoffs (probably a high seed) but I don't think Barry is a DC that can coach a Super-Bowl worthy defense. [/QUOTE]
