Those fans who wanted someone more animated and vocal on the sideline (not up in a booth), are you happy with this information?

Things are clearly different with the Packers defense this season. But you can’t merely see the changes, you can hear them.

After nine years of the calm stylings of long-time coordinator Dom Capers, having his more vocal replacement Mike Pettine stop a drill to yell at guys when mistakes are made is a bit jarring.

“Two different personalities,” veteran cornerback Tramon Williams said, via Ryan Wood of the Green Bay Press-Gazette.

Williams played under Pettine for a year when he was head coach of the Browns, so he had a preview to what’s coming.

“From Dom to coach Pettine is totally different,” Williams said. “Two different personalities. Dom was just a laid-back guy. He commanded it with his experience and presence, but coach Pettine, he’s going to let you know. He’s going to let you know, but he’s been highly successful in this league with every team he’s been on. He has the resume to back it up, and you can see it in his attitude also.

“Coach Pettine believes in football stuff, not schematics stuff. As a player, that’s what you love in a coach. If he tells you to go out there and do what you do, that’s what you love to hear from a coach. That’s what coach Pettine is really about.”[more]

I am a big fan of an animated coach. I think a player will go more balls out for a guy on the sideline being in the game, rather than a guy falling asleep in a booth calling down plays. One of the things I miss when Kevin Greene was on the sideline was the extra energy he seemed to provide to the players. It appeared that the LBs wanted to really play well for him.

I too like an animated coach. I don't necessarily need it from the OC or DC. I agree with the concept that they sit up the booth and get a look at the bigger picture. If it helps them call plays. The position coaches work day in and day out with the players. They know them better and what they can do. These are the guys I think are the first line of motivation ala Greene.

That's the thing. Dom couldn't outsmart offenses, and he knew it. That's why he wanted all these tweeners, like Datone Jones, Nick Perry, Damarius Randall, Quentin Rollins, etc.
