The hiring of Dom Capers as the team's new defensive coordinator will usher in a new look to the Packers' defense.

Specifically, the Packers' base concept on defense will feature a front with three down linemen and four linebackers, or a 3-4, rather than the 4-3 look the Packers have featured during Head Coach Mike McCarthy's first three seasons.

Who will fill each of those spots in the front seven remains to be seen, but after an extensive interview with Capers, McCarthy is confident the Packers have the personnel to make the change and Capers is the best guy to implement it.

"It's an impressive system that utilizes the talents of its players," McCarthy said. "That's really the bottom line. It's about utilizing your players, and this is a system that we will institute."

No, I'm not saying there's a thread with this very article in it, but you could have posted this article in one of the other Dom topics. (Haha, I just thought of something, use Dom instead of damn in a sentence!)


Anyway, it doesn't matter to me. I'm just sayin'

I wanna hear the players' reaction to this, most importantly Aaron Kampman. Im sure some guys are happy, but I can see some players being upset with this change.

In regards to Kampman, I know he slimmed down to better fit the type of DE they wanted in the 4-3 system. Does anybody remember what weight he used to play at? I want to say 280 or thereabouts...

I think so. Maybe even more than that... 285, 290 maybe.

A little off topic here but i was thinking about Kampman and someone from the Packers past. Anyone remember Bryce Paup? He used to line up at DE and also at Linebacker wasn't he about the same size as Kampman?
Just Imagine this for the next 6-9 years. What a ride it will be 🙂 (PS, Zero should charge for this)
