[QUOTE="wist43, post: 570090, member: 9839"] I agree that good defense starts on the LOS, and being strong up the middle - unfortunately, TT/MM/Capers disagree. Everyone and their mother can see that we're dead at ILB; yet, Brad Jones and AJ Hawk are still our starters. MM said he was going to get involved with the defense to ensure that the problems were addressed and fixed - and what we got was smaller and weaker along the DL, and a base defense that went from a weak front 2-4, to a weak front 2-5... MM did not have to go along with Capers gameplan that called for only 4 active DL in the opener, but of course he did - and then when we got predictably gashed in the run game, we got the same old tired speech about "... we'll get that cleaned up". Eventually a rational person has to conclude that the Packer philosophy on defense is all about finesse; that the NFL is a passing league - and only a passing league, e.g. planning to stop the run and control the LOS are not really necessary; etc. Combine those realities with TT's perpetual youth movement, Capers complicated and unsound coverage schemes, and you have a recipe for disaster. The players are not good, the coaching is terrible... there's no fixing this mess - and nothing will be done about it. The Packers braintrust believes that stopping the run is incidental, and therefore need not be accounted for in acquiring personnel or formulating gameplans - they believe that every play is going to be a pass, so they design their defense to stop the pass - and only the pass. Unfortunately - they don't even do that well. [/QUOTE]
