[QUOTE="wist43, post: 547702, member: 9839"] So many of you guys are excuse makers. While I agree that losing good players like Collins and Jenkins would justify a drop off in production and results - it doesn't explain "all-time" levels of futility; and the embarrassing defensive performances the Packers have been putting out on the field. There are ways to mitigate the damage, but Capers kept doing the same thing over and over again - his greatest sin is living, and dying by that mind numbingly awful 2-4 alignment that he runs far more than any other team in the league. On another site, someone posted alignment statistics from the 2011 season - Capers played the 2-4 62% of the time. That's nothing short of unbelievable - no other team was even close; and of course we had one of worst statistical seasons in NFL history. When he went to a more traditional 3-4, the damage was mitigated, but he simply couldn't help himself, and would immediately go back to the 2-4, and the bleeding would begin again. The 2-4, given our personnel and how Capers runs it, is a disaster - yet Capers keeps doing the same thing over and over again. He should be finding ways to maximize the talent TT has given him, i.e. he should be running more 3-4 and 3-3 alignments, and putting the DL talent to work, rather than putting the 2-4 out there that has Perry, Raji, and D. Jones either miscast or watching from the sidelines; and has pedestrian players like AJ Hawk and Brad Jones on the field 24/7. Capers simply isn't making effective use of the talent TT has provided. Granted the players that TT has provided are not well suited to playing a traditional 3-4, but that just means it falls to Capers to find the best way to use them. One thing is for sure - the worst way to use them is in a 2-4. The results have been disasterous - and it is Capers fault far more than anyone elses. [/QUOTE]
