[QUOTE="easyk83, post: 744771, member: 8895"] Dom Capers is the most brilliant and innovative defensive mind in the game right now, and he's a terrible defensive coordinator. In this business there is such a thing as being too clever and dare I say too brilliant. Consider that top 2010 defense which really was a dominant unit throughout the season. That was not a true Capers defense. Because of injuries and it being only his second year Dom relied on a much simpler scheme. Mostly it was just single high safety with a safety in the box and a more limited number of checks and reads. In the following year we went to more of a two deep shell scheme and even before Collins was knocked out at Carolina our defense was notably worse, why? IMO a simpler scheme would allow our players to play faster and likely play better. BTW why do our corners play a lot of outside leverage with 2 high safety shells? Why do Capers' defenses show remarkable turnarounds when he first takes up his job and then steadily regress into mediocrity or worse? IMO it's because he tries to do too much with scheme and concepts. As he has more time in a system or with a team the more and more complicated his unit tends to become. Thornton btw has turned into a good backup in Detroit and apart from one great year Hayward never looked like more than an able nickelback here. Now playing in a simpler zone defense he looks like a genuine star. [/QUOTE]
