[QUOTE="HardRightEdge, post: 689969"] I'd give that a qualified agree to that. Thompson has done a decent job, an average job, with a lot of ups and downs. The investments made on the defensive side of the ball in recent years have not shown up on the field. Each year there has been a significant talent deficit at one position or another that opponents have exploited. This does not excuse Capers. He's gone from being unable to close games to unable to close first halves. That's a cultural deficit. As for Wolf, who knows? He worked his way up a couple of notches on the pro personnel side, where he was mostly the Maytag repairman. The only noteable free agent signings in recent years were Peppers and Guion, and those appeared to be Thompson moves for guys he'd seen play a couple times per year over several years. Opponent scouting for game planning? Scrounging the waiver wire or the street for the practice squad? There's not a lot to go on. If Wolf had a hand in the emergency moves for RBs, that is not especially auspicious. I'd also be concerned that Wolf has not worked anywhere else. He's steeped in the "Packer Way", as defined by Thompson. Is that really what's wanted? [/QUOTE]
