Matthews can stay.

Raji is going to be a serious impact player in this league. The typical track for players at his position is closer to a Justin Harrell than a B.J. Raji. ---

Really.

B.J. Raji SHOULD need about three years to develop into an impact player. I bet he beats that curve easily. You are right abot Clay, though...

I want pressure on the quarterback. I don't see it. Do you see it?


Oh, I do, unfortunately it is invariably the other team bringing it. AK looks like a fish out of water in coverage, btw. He was knocked silly last game and we couldn't even tell. That tells ya something right there. I'm putting that on Dom. I thought he would be bringing more emphasis on getting the scheme to fit his players. I am not seeing that, if it means things like putting AK in a position that he is covering anyone. If that is the plan, then trade AK, period, imo. As good a pass rusher he is compared to our (still non-existent one---though Clay "flashes") AK is a net liability if he cannot do his job in coverage..and he simply cannot, imo.

I got bitched out by mentioning repeatedly after this past draft that what we look like on paper to me is a very good 4-3 football team, not a 3-4. I was told to STFU about that by some very well-respected posters, and I did so.

Well, fuck that. Dom (I was told) would "hybridize" He has not. That is on him. I kept asking what would happen if we didn't get to the quarterback on all those blitzes, etc. Like I said, Iw as told to STFU.

Zone coverages= bullshit said so then, say so now.

NT's dropping into coverage? Don't like it.

Trade AK

All these linebacker zealot assholes we have on this staff STILL haven't got the GD LINEBACKER corps right, for christ's sake. What, are we gonna chew up MORE draft picks to try and get that fixed???!!!


We have the WORST OFFENSIVE LINE IN THE NFL and we are STILL going to have to try and fix this shit?

It is time to trade some players... a lot of them.

When the defense plays together sort of speaking, they're fine, but put most of these guys in space, they're exposed. Atari Bigby, A.J. Hawk, Aaron Kampman and even Nick Barnett can't play in space. If I can see this, so can offensive coordinators.

I also wouldn't say the 3-4 defense isn't working. It's certainly a better defense than it was a year ago. It's about average which will equal good sometimes and bad other times. The main concern I have is with the stubborn coaching. Dom Capers is fitting right in with the my way or highway attitude that Mike McCarthy has created. Capers would be wise to blend some 4-3 packages in with the 3-4. Surely, he picked something up from Bill Belichick who is doing the exact same thing in New England. Ironically, he's moved the team to a 4-3 from a 3-4 due to the players he has around him and more specifically Jerod Mayo.

Aaron Kampman should rush the passer 40 to 45 times a game if the team runs 50 plays. However, he's rushing 25 to 35 give or take. That's unacceptable. Al Harris should also play more press coverage. These are two examples of things Capers should work into the defense, but thus far, he hasn't. He's asking Harris to play more off coverage and Favre pretty much exposed him pretty good. Josh Freeman too. Kampman is way too stiff in coverage.

It's a mixture of GB doesn't have the personnel to run it and the coaching is too stubborn to adjust the scheme to fit the players' abilities rather than having the players adjust their abilities (which is easier said than done) so they can fit the scheme.

Favre "exposed" the safety who was supposed to be assisting Harris in coverage. Kampman is just a glorified "try hard" guy. He hasn't done shit since KGB took up all the double teams for him.
