[QUOTE="Sunshinepacker, post: 837311, member: 9033"] That stands to reason, right? When a team's primary CB is Ladarius Gunter and you're playing Julio Jones, gonna be kind of tough to hold a team in check. And if we really wanna talk 35+ points, that happened in 2011 (Giants), 2012 (49ers), and 2017 (Falcons). 2011 - Packers turned the ball over 4 times against an elite pass rush so I'm not overly worked up against giving up 37 points to the 9th best offense in the NFL that season. 2012- Kap ran all over the Packers while the players and Capers had no answer. Capers played the exact defense that team's generally use against an option QB but when his players (looking at Raji and Matthews here) proved incapable of doing anything he wasn't able to adjust. 2017 - Julio Jones and Matt Ryan v Ladarius Gunter/Josh Hawkins. Duh. At the end, Capers was not an elite, game changing DC anymore. He was not helped by bad defensive drafts. The best thing Capers had going for him was McCarthy's knowledge that everyone would blame Capers rather than MM for the team's problems when, in fact, MM was doing less with more. Glad they're all gone, not happy it took them 4 years too long to clean house. I'm excited about the defense this year but mainly because the team spent a TON of money to try and make up for terrible drafts in recent years. Zadarius Smith is the guy to focus on here because his contract is going to rely on him being VERY good to justify that deal. Finally, defensive performance is going to rely on King and/or Jackson proving that they can be good players; I'm hoping it's Jackson because Jackson has an extra year of rookie salary and those are the kinds of deals that will help balance out the Smiths/upcoming Clark costs.
