[QUOTE="Deleted member 6794, post: 613455"] Well, the Packers can't lose to the Seahawks in the Super Bowl. It would really take a lot of time to figure out how succesful Thompson has been in drafting defensive players over his tenure compared to other GMs. The Packers haven't finished in the top 10 in overall defense since winning the Super Bowl though and changing that should be a major emphasis going forward. Bucky Brooks made a ranking of NFL rosters without taking QBs into consideration with the Packers coming in at 8th. NFL defenses lined up in subpackages on more than 60% of the snaps last season. With the Packers defense holding by far the highest average lead at the start of a drive in the entire league in 2014 opponents were forced to throw the ball more often and Capers was probably fine with giving up time consuming drives while trying to prevent big plays. That's why he lined up in subpackages more often. The Packers defense spent an average of 29:27 minutes per game on the field (more than 11 other teams). They could have prevented to stay on the field by forcing some more three and outs or punts, to blame the offense is wrong IMO. Both Burnett and Clinton-Dix had a better season in 2014 than Harrison Smith. If the Packers find someone capable of playing a solid season opposite Shields their secondary will be fine. [/QUOTE]
