It's certainly not scheme. The so-called "quad" base defense, or 4-3, basically lasted two games.
It's not the defensive line. The Packers still can't stop the run, and the pass rush from the lighter, more athletic unit hasn't made up the difference.
The inside linebacker position remains an albatross around the neck of coordinator Dom Capers.
All things considered, the rotation system at outside linebacker has brought little more than comparable results from previous seasons.
It's the cornerbacks and safeties. As a whole, they've played outstanding football.
True, the secondary hasn't tackled well. The unit has 29 misses, 13 more than after six games last season.
But when it comes to coverage, few teams, if any, can do it any better.
