[QUOTE="NCPackerfan, post: 4219, member: 29"] The Patriots had devised a radical defensive scheme for the Super Bowl that was designed to primarily contain McNabb. The players were having a hard time adapting to it in practice the week of the game, so Friday night Crennel told the defense he was going to scale the scheme back considerably. I'd say they did a good job containing McNabb. I don't think it's a problem making last minute changes. The problem may come down to how the changes are communicated from the coaches to the players or IMO, how they're communicated on the field between the players. I think a lot of the Packers problems on defense last year were the result of a lack of communication on the field. There's constant movement and check-offs before the snap of the ball. Players need to know what their responsibility is in any given situation. I'm not sure if it was Barnetts or Sharpers job to call the defensive signals, but there were definitely a lot of breakdowns last year. Both Al Harris and Grady Jackson said it wasn't Slowiks fault the defense played so poorly last year. The players just weren't doing what they were supposed to do, ie: Navies not blitzing on the infamous "Moon" touchdown. [/QUOTE]
