That my fellow Packers fans was basically a shutout by the D! The only points surrendered were the result of the fumble by Cobb. The Vikings certainly don't field a great offense; even so that was much MUCH more like it. The Packers brought a more aggressive attitude from the first play and they did tackle better.
I know Raji has talked about not playing the "jet" technique (get after the QB instead of controlling gaps and occupying blockers) as much as last year and Matthews alluded to the fact he's not been pinning his ears back and rushing as much either. I interpret the two-way street comment by Capers as meaning he'll call more aggressive schemes if the players - particularly the DBs - get more assignment sure and "communicate" better. BTW, I think sometimes when they talk about miscommunication it just means someone missed their assignment.Capers and the coaching staff said it was a two way street. If they wanted a certain type of scheming, they had to step up and make plays and communicate.
