[QUOTE="wist43, post: 554872, member: 9839"] Losing Collins, Woodson, Jenkins, and Bishop has been devastating. To be sure, going into the 2011 season we couldn't have known that we'd be losing the DB's and Bishop; but we knew Jenkins and Greene were going to be gone - and TT did nothing to help the defense in that draft. That was certainly a contributing factor to our defense falling hard off the cliff. Then in 2012, TT began chasing defenders in earnest in the draft - but true to how TT operates, he didn't target players that fit the scheme. Now 3 years in a row of drafts, counting Thorton, TT hasn't drafted anyone that really fits a 3-4. D. Jones can fit at 5T, but I think that's kind of waste of his talents. Boyd and Thorton could play 5T too... but of course we run so little 3-4, that they're going to be standing on the sideline most of the time anyway. That said, I like the players - I like almost all of them. So if we have good players - besides the 2 ILB's who are the very definition of pedestrian - it is incumbent upon Capers to devise a scheme to fit the players, not try to misfit the players to what he wants to play. So if MM is guaranteeing the D will be better - that would mean that he has to force Capers to use the players differently, i.e. use them to their strengths, and I simply don't see that happening. I don't expect Capers to change at all. I think we'll be a little better - with Clinton-Dix in there, and another year of maturity from the young guys, but we'll always be a Capers brain-fart gameplan away from disaster. [/QUOTE]
