I seem to recall recently somebody pointing out this change of approach and being called out on it, to the affect that Capers plays an attacking defense, not "bend don't break".  I guess that was you.Well, Capers has historically been a blitz-happy guy...typically in the top 5 or 10 in the league in blitz frequency.  That's aggressive.  However, I've not seen much "getting after it" in the run game since Bishop went down.  On balance, I agree with you...the D strikes me as playing on the soft side the last couple years, the SF playoff game last year being a notable exception.</blockquote>
