[QUOTE="TJV, post: 559464, member: 4300"] IMO MD Jennings and McMillian are exhibits A and B for the argument that Capers was handcuffed with a lack of talent at safety. Of course McMillian was only in his second season but Jennings didn’t have that excuse. IMO the problem of going into 2013 with the players they had at safety can be put at the feet of Thompson. It was a position crying out for a veteran UFA acquisition for insurance if they turned out to be right about Jennings or McMillian or to provide at least adequate snaps at safety if they turned out to be wrong. I’m not talking about a top tier UFA, just an experienced vet. I’m optimistic about the defense being improved for two main reasons. The first is they are simplifying the scheme. That it took so long to do so IMO is Capers’ fault. It could not have been a surprise to him that the Packers are a “perpetually young” team for more than a season or two. Anyway, better late than never and it should mean rookies and second year players with talent can contribute earlier. The second reason is talent and not just the addition of Peppers, Guion, the draftees and the UDFAs. From DL to LB to DBs we could – and I think will – see a significant jump from a player already on the roster at each level of the D. [/QUOTE]
