[QUOTE="FrankRizzo, post: 547710, member: 2232"] I share much of your disgust with the defense, and Capers. I, too, wanted him fired not only last year, but the year and year before. I felt with an aggressive DC like a Gregg Williams or Rob Ryan, we would have been a lot better on defense. That being said: Nick Collins was great, not good. He was special, and starting his prime. His position is critical to a defense. You can't replace great ones and not have a drop-off, even with a good one. Thompson gave Capers horrible ones, not good ones..... Jerron McMillian? From Maine, was not even rated as draftable on any of my pre-draft guides. For a reason, which we saw.... MD Jennings? Same thing. Morgan Burnett was horrible last year too, slow to react. Misses tons of tackles. And besides Collins and Cullen Jenkins, you forgot to mention the best ILB Desmond Bishop. Bishop took a few years to get to that point as they made him prove it time after time. He was our only aggressive, thumper, and losing him in 2011, that also killed us. In Jenkins, Bishop, and Collins, you have had a very crucial hole at each level of the defense. I also documented after the playoff loss to the Niners how it was the players errors who caused the big breakdowns, against Kaepernick. Jarrett Bush and Mike Daniels were to blame on the one big play, run, by Kaepernick on a 3rd & long run. That was not Capers' fault. That call was great, if both of them had not blown their assignment/angle. And you can blame Sam Shields and Casey Hayward for Bush having to be playing in the first place. I, too, would have tried to bring in Williams to replace Capers. But with all these key injuries time and time again (of course Clay was out too), and with Thompson handing Capers supposed-starting material in guys like Worthy (Rd2), McMillian, Terrell Manning, MD Jennings, you cannot expect great results.
