McCarthy also mentioned they were having major communication problems with the helmets. i'm sure this gets worked out both technically and in the "old school" way.

I agree with Twinkiegorilla.

Im not too scared about the Defense, preseason is played to guage what needs improvement once the regular season starts, im sure it'll all be fixed ASAP unless its the players' "pad-level" of course =O

We're MUCH better off under Capers than we were under Sanders. That's a fact. These guys met on their own time and learned the defense quickly. Shouldn't be too many breakdowns.
Remember, last game we were playing without Barnett or Mathews. We had a number of guys out.
Those little short passes up the middle were killing us, but there was also a problem with the headsets, getting the defensive calls in, so they were just staying in the base defense. I think we'll get to the passer.

You really can't compare how the Packers start to how the Brewers start. At least you shouldn't be in that mentality. Baseball is so different than football. What a team does in April and May is pretty much meaningless as long as they don't lose every game. What a team does in September in football isn't meaningless at all. It's huge.

The Brewers were a collapse waiting to happen even when they were healthy and playing well. The Packers on the other hand are clearly an upstart team with great coaching on both sides of the ball that won 13 games just two years ago without this type of coaching on defense.

People undervalue coaching so much, but in football it means way more than it does in baseball. I know baseball purists won't like this, but football is harder to play than baseball. Coaching is tougher in the NFL than it is in the MLB. It takes a lot of energy to play football. That's why it's only done once a week. The Packers have probably the best overall coaching staff in the division now with Capers and co on board. Not to say that they can't fail as they can, but coaching + healthy players = better defense.

I really think the key to this season is staying healthy. GB does that, they're in good shape.

You take out several starters on every team and replace them with their backups and that team will struggle.

dfosterf (27-Aug) : Nick Nieman from Texans our 5th linebacker. Special teams signing
TheKanataThrilla (27-Aug) : Looks like we signed Clayton Tune as QB3
wpr (27-Aug) : TKT people lose their minds over QB3. Point is almost none of them are ready that's why they are on the PS and other teams don't take them.

dfosterf (27-Aug) : Have to admit the PO'd Cowboy fan videos would be fun to watch. Problem with draft picks is half their fanbase barely knows what that is
beast (27-Aug) : I think Cowboys fans are ready to get their pitch forks and burning sticks if Jerry were to trade Micah
dfosterf (27-Aug) : If Jerry traded Micah to GB, here in northern Va. they would have to quick build yet another data center to handle the internet hate traffic
Zero2Cool (27-Aug) : its signing and trades that you don't hear about, other then announced
