[QUOTE="Packerlifer, post: 686576, member: 1242"] The recurrent and persistent issues with the Packers defense has been personnel. Injuries, draft picks that have not lived up to hopes and lack of activity in free agency are the real culprits to blame. But going beyond this season Mike McCarthy and Ted Thompson should consider going back to a 4-3. They're more likely to find college talent fitted to that than to 3-4. That would also take care of the issue of Capers. He's coached 4-3 but is primarily a 3-4 guy. The 4-3 the Packers played in 2007 wasn't that bad. It was hit hard by injuries in '08 when MM decided to make the change. I don't think it can be said that the results the Packers have gotten over the past 8 years with 3-4 are any better or different than they would have gotten if they had stayed 4-3. At least they won't be drafting undersized college defensive ends and trying to make outside linebackers out of them or wasting and losing a Pro Bowl defensive end before his time trying to do the square peg in the round hole bit.
