[QUOTE="wist43, post: 605873, member: 9839"] 2011 was a mess after they let Cullen Jenkins walk. Capers started playing a lot of 2-4 in our SB season, but it was a workable alignment b/c of the talent we had, i.e. Jenkins, Woodson, and Bishop were all better players than the chaff that followed them. Of course Jenkins walked, Woodson slowed, and Bishop got hurt. I, and many others saw the writing on the wall - yet TT did nothing to help the defense in the draft following the SB. He focused on offense in the early rounds, and on defense only added Devon House (4th round), DJ Smith (6th round), and Lawrence Guy (7th round). Of those guys, only House could play, and for that draft only Cobb is still with the team - terrible draft. So I don't entirely blame Capers for the mess that showed up on the field in '11 - that was certainly a group effort. After that disasterous defensive showing in '11, TT began to work to rebuild the unit, and it was at that point that Capers is almost fully to blame. He misused everyone, and stubbornly stuck to his flawed approach. In '12 and 13', Capers had more DL talent available to him, but still stuck with that idiotic "Jumbo 2-4"... it cost us dearly. Up until last year when MM said he would get involved with fixing the mess that was our defense, and the result was a hybrid 3-4 with Matthews playing Elephant. The unit improved immediately - of course the addition of Peppers and HaHa helped greatly. [/QUOTE]
