GREEN BAY, Wis. — The Green Bay Packers are on pace to miss more tackles on both defense and special teams than in any other season since coordinators Dom Capers and Shawn Slocum took over their respective units.

Both took over their squads in 2009, when coach Mike McCarthy brought in the veteran Capers to install his 3-4 defense and promoted Slocum from assistant special-teams coach.

With 95 missed tackles on defense and 20 more on special teams through 12 games this season, according to ProFootballFocus.

It is a sad state of affairs. The players know who they are and the coaches know who the players are. New blood is needed. We need more nasties.

4: When did I say the defense was "purposely tanking out of spite?" I'm saying that imo, the players do not believe in or agree with the system, and thus are doing their own thing out there. Like Favre, when he didn't like the play that was called.
