It's amazing to me that Capers still cannot get credit from guys when the defense has been playing well, but gets most of the blame when they do not play well.
Capers is only part of the defense because the players play a much larger role.
Sunshine said it perfectly:
I'd also like to had that Burnett, Daniels, Boyd, Perry, Neal, have all improved to help the defense. Also, moving Clay inside, which has really helped, is most likely a Capers idea.
Just look this season at some of the games they defense didn't do well. Let's say Seattle, Bears 1st half, and New Orleans. In all three of those the D line was completely blown off the ball. How does a defensive coordinator adjust for that?
Last season, we did not have enough talent. We had a JV starting safety and very little pass rush outside Matthews. By the playoffs we were playing without almost every good player we had. (Still managed a solid game though.)
I would love to see a Capers hater explain to me how a defensive coordinator can make a defense good with a lack of talent.

I'm still a believer that players are WAY more important than coaches and our defense hasn't had many players for years. Is it really a coincidence that Capers gets Peppers, a decent NT and another decent safety and suddenly the defense is better?
