[QUOTE="Sunshinepacker, post: 597055, member: 9033"] So Capers has coached a defense that lead the Packers to a Super Bowl, had poor seasons in between and then had an average year this year (Packers were 18th in weighted DVOA from Football Outsiders). This past season Football Outsiders ranked the Packers pass defense 11th best and the rush defense 24th. I think pretty much everyone would agree that Capers doesn't really have much to work with in the rush defense department until Thompson gives him some inside linebackers to work with (bear in mind that the Packers also had their backup NT starting for the entire year). It's apparent that the defense is improving from where it was and it would seem a poor time to fire a defensive coach and install a new defense when the current defense is finally turning things around. I mean, last offseason everyone was clamoring for the 4-3 "under" (i.e., "flavor of the month") defense. Packers used it in the first couple games and it was so effective that they took it out of the playbook entirely after what, three games? [/QUOTE]
