[QUOTE="realcaliforniacheese, post: 430317, member: 4943"] Capers once said that a great defense is made up of about 3 play makers and you build around them. We lost one in Jenkins and his replacement was injured in camp and never really recovered for the season. Then we lost Collins. Clay was playing injured much of the season. Burnett had a club on his hand. We had several second year guys that had no off season. Capers played the hand that was dealt him as best he could. Remember the D had two 3 and outs in the 3rd quarter and the O failed to get more than 3 points. Peprah hit Nicks hard and probably thought he was going to knock him off his feet. I agree he should have wrapped him up. Point is don't throw the baby out with the bathwater. This defense is only a couple of players from being back up there. Shields, Burnett,Neal, Zombo all second year guys have potential to make a jump this offseason plus So'oto, Jones, and the other rookies. 40 players 25 or under. A slew of draft picks this year for TT to do some horse trading, maybe make some first round moves like he did with Raji and Matthews. who knows about Flynn and a trade. I a couple of weeks ago I completely dismissed that but now things have changed dramatically. we pick up a couple of guys in FA, Collins comes back and the ship is back on track for another run. I don't believe things are as bleak as I keep reading. We have all off season to beat this horse which is about dead until the draft and FA. TT and MM aren't going to waist these years with the best QB in the NFL. They will do what needs to be done to fix this. Capers is one of he best defensive minds in the NFL. [/QUOTE]
