In the end , the "proof is in the pudding", and the question then becomes, why are the players making these mistakes so often? Why are they still around if they suck?What we have here is something very close to the Mike Sherman-Brett Favre years. The offense could, and needed to, score at will because the defense flopped so many times it pulled everything down. So the answer(to some) is the status quo: sorry, I don't buy it. I don't care if Capers walks on water, if he wants to keep his job next year put the defense in the top 50 percent of the league or resign. I'm far from the "fire everybody" crowd that infests most websites. But the defense has been bad for so long, how long do you tolerate it without a new approach? How about a four man line and 7 people behind them with a basis on speed and fundamentals....LIKE TACKLING! Tackling is taught and practiced by the coaching staff. The tackling has been shameful. This team has the same amount of practice time as the 49'ers, the Panthers, etc. who tackle very well.  One more  year, apparently. One year of excuses, probably.</blockquote>
