I see a lot of talk about AP getting his yards. How about going back to the point of Capers D letting RBs pile yards but not scores. Then have the best passing D in the league to stall drives.

I don't care if AP helps the Vikings win when he gets yards, if he can't do it against the Packers.

The Packers won both their games without locking down AP. He may have gotten fewer attempts, because they were in catch up mode the whole game in MN. He had a 4.7 per for 131 yards in game 1 at Lambeau and a 5.1 per for 72 yards in game 2 in the Dome.

It doesn't matter what the traditional formula for the rest of the NFL is. It matters how the Packers win. Shut down the Pass, let the RB get yards but limit his big plays.

The new formula for success. Ground breaking and innovative. Just like I would expect from Capers.

Nice, lol, he'd make a good moderator!

Naw, I am way to pleasant.

I love how Capers schemes each game. He is not afraid to be innovated.
3 man fronts, 4 man fronts make sense to me. In HS and small colleges you see 5 man fronts.

Who other than Capers would have the moxie to have a 2 man front and an unheard of 1 man front? You know the OL is looking around trying to figure out who they have to take on.

Truthfully his 1 and 2 man fronts make me a bit nervous. Gimmick plays don't usually work for very long. But he gets the players to perform and excel.

I think that's part of it. The players seem to have more fun with all of these different looks. They buy into the system. And usually Capers knows not to overuse the weirder formations.
