[QUOTE="Sunshinepacker, post: 639638, member: 9033"] I don't think I agree with some of this idea. The last time McCarthy "focused" on defense the Packers unveiled their "quads" defense which was AWFUL. I think McCarthy is spending time with both offense, defense and special teams but I think the biggest change is being made on game days. He's probably just as involved during the week in offensive game planning. McCarthy is a very good coach but he's been an offensive guy his entire career. I'm not sure how much value he would add to the defensive gameplan; I'm not saying his attention isn't a positive, just not sure that I would give him the bulk of the credit for the defense this year. I would say the improved play of Datone Jones, Mike Daniels (somehow playing even better this year!) and the terrific secondary players that Thompson has added the last couple years are the biggest reason that the defense has improved (though I think last year's defense was better than most remember, Football Oustiders ranked the packers with the 16th best defense last year and they have the 11th best this year). The difference this year (I would think) is that he doesn't have to spend time figuring out the next play call, he can pay more attention to the overall game and what's happening. So, for example, in last year's NFC championship, he could have made the team aware that two of Seattle's best defensive players were playing with one arm (which is still one of the biggest knocks on the coaching in that game, how did nobody know Thomas and Sherman were hurt?!? They required surgery in the offseason for goodness sake!). [/QUOTE]
