That's MISTER Cheesehead, to you.
Does it ruin the argument of Capers being a poor DC by pointing out that Russell Wilson, the best running QB in the NFL this past year, was held to only 25 yards rushing by the Packers? Or do we get to just explain that away somehow? That after being given some decent players on defense to work with the Packers defense was average this season? Or are we not supposed to be happy unless we get a defensive coordinator that can be the driving force behind a Super Bowl....oh wait....
The DC can only put players in position to make plays. HaHa was in position to stop the 2-pt conversion. How was it Capers fault that HaHa didn't stop it? Williams was in position to stop deep passes by Seattle. How was it Capers fault that he didn't? If the DC is supposed to expect your best corner to not be able to cover a poor WR, well then, your problem isn't the DC. Finally, there seem to an awful lot of professional football personnel, who's livelihoods depend on knowing these things, who still think Capers is a good DC.
Finally, my comment was slightly tongue-in-cheek about the playcaller but I still firmly believe that a playcallers job is FAR easier with the Packers offensive personnel.
I am ok with Capers. But, I was surprised that we rushed two (the third was a spy) on 3rd and 19. Sorry, but expecting two rushing lineman to get past five O-lineman and reach a mobile QB in any time less than what it would take to read Moby **** is probably expecting too much. The only thing we could have hoped for in that case was for the receiver to drop an easy catch or for Wilson to fall asleep from boredom while in the pocket. Neither of which happened.
I also was amazed on the fateful OT score that Capers dialed up a defense that had zero deep coverage. Not Cover-1, not Cover-2, but Cover-0?
I also don't like that he sits in the box. He should have been in Matthews face telling him to get off his sorry **** and in the game when it mattered most. Hard to motivate your players over a headset.
