Take it with a grain of salt, the person who posted that rumour on another site also said after the Eagles loss that Mike McCarthy was going to fly in McDermott, and if the interview went well they'd try hard to make sure he didn't leave GB.

A few hours later, the story broke that Capers was hired.

Although if we were going to guess, I'd say someone who has a history with Capers. Channing Crowder, maybe?

My feeling is that no matter what the team will still be a 4-3 next year. Maybe some 3-4 in specific situations. But there are to many needs to play that scheme more than now and than.

But the idea of moving may throw a wrench in draft/FA plans. Now I say more to pull in some Oline players in FA and draft heavier on the defensive side.

Bottom Line -- It's a transition period for the defense.

The strength is in the secondary, and unless Ted Thompson goes extremely aggressive in free agency, don't expect too much from the Green Bay defense next season.

Over time, they will grow -- but yes, I truly believe that the defense next year will immediately be better than what we had this passed season.

Maybe this team is even on its way to the playoffs.

But I'm not expecting "great" things yet.

Is it just me, or did we just hire Rudy Giuliani to coach our defense?

---

Either Bart Scott or Suggs if going to be available......possibilities.

I like the hire, and the fact that we will be chasing the QB this year. Great record of producing quality defenses, seasoned vet....brings experience, aggressive and an educator.

---

Peppers was wanting to play in a 3-4 if I am not mistaken.

---

I'm not too sure on Peppers after that disgusting late hit on Rodgers. He doesn't normally get into too much trouble does he? Is he a good locker room personality?

---

I dont know if i would call that late hit disgusting or not. at the time i wanted to shoot him for it. but i mean it was close enough to inbounds that you can't really call it disgusting. especially after Aaron pulled the same move for a first down earlier in the game.

but hes a decent locker room guy. he completely disappeared last year, and everyone was speculating as to why. To me he just looked like he didn't care, which is scary. I gotta think that a change of pace might be nice for him.

I still think Suggs would be a cheaper, but as effective signing.

---

Great news!!

---

Some of you must remember Ted Thompson is at the helm, Wolf brought in Reggie. There will never be another signing like that with TT. Ted Thompson is about being cost effective, which is not a bad thing, as long as you bring in those key parts and not be too cheap, ie Chillar, Frost.
