At least Rodgers got a year of experience (in the face of severe adversity) under his belt before we fired the defensive staff.

Can you imagine the chaos that might have ensued had we tried to overhaul the defense and offense in the same season?

Dont have any links to transcripts or video's just yet.

The presser actually got started on time which is weird.

Very impressed with a lot of things he said. I think he is the anti-Sanders. not that i was a "off with Sanders head" guy or anything. But Capers stressed several times that there rigidness is foolishness. Doesn't seem like hes a guy to get a scheme and stick to it. Not gonna blitz you to death if protection is your best aspect, stuff like that. Also seemed confidentish in the players currently on the roster.

I am very happy with the hire just off first impression. Apparently he was won over in the interview process, said it was a class organization and that everything went smoothly and it seemed to be the "perfect marriage".

anyone else see it and want to throw out your first impression?

Ha ya - thats exactly what I thought - guy seems pretty intelligent

True it may take 2-3 years before the full blown D comes into frutation but from what I got from his speech; good things will be there starting next year.
His main points from the speech were using key players in his new scheme ie the players that are good with be used in a scheme that is good for them.

And then also of course implementing the 3-4D and he made it clear that its stopping the run followed by QB pressure and receiver pressure (both together).

IMO we had excellent receiver coverage this year - just no pass rushage. Combine the 2 and we should have top quality D

Very impressive first contact with the Green Bay community. I am going to like this guy a lot because he is firm. He is going to utilize what he has and match his gameplan with what he has. He also thinks we have the players to use a 3-4 defense which makes me happy.
I am looking forward to seeing our defense beat up on other teams. I just can't wait for the 2009 season.

I have a feeling we are going to fill our roaster with top quality D using our draft picks and FA.

I would expect 2-3 quality D players and then probably a good OL man
Capers will be in on the selection which is nice since he seems like a really smart guy.

I like a lot of his answers. I think Thompson and McCarthy found a good one.

I'm already jacked up for 2009. Is it September yet?

Why does Poppinga suddenly sound like a seasoning?

packerfanoutwest (20m) : both games Watson missed, Packers won

Martha Careful (2h) : I hope all of you have a Merry Christmas!

Mucky Tundra (12h) : Oh I know about Jacobs, I just couldn't pass up an opportunity to mimic Zero lol

buckeyepackfan (12h) : Jacobs was just sat down, Watson re-injured that knee that kept him out 1 game earlier

buckeyepackfan (12h) : I needed .14 that's. .14 points for the whole 4th quarter to win and go to the SB. Lol

Mucky Tundra (12h) : Jacobs gonna be OK???

Zero2Cool (12h) : Watson gonna be OK???

packerfanoutwest (16h) : Inactives tonight for the Pack: Alexander- knee Bullard - ankle Williams - quad Walker -ankle Monk Heath

packerfanoutwest (16h) : No Jaire, but hopefully the front 7 destroys the line of scrimmage & forces Rattler into a few passes to McKinney.

packerfanoutwest (16h) : minny could be #1 seed and the Lions #5 seed

Zero2Cool (18h) : We'd have same Division and Conference records. Strength of schedule we edge them

Zero2Cool (18h) : I just checked. What tie breaker?

bboystyle (18h) : yes its possible but unlikely. If we do get the 5th, we face the NFCS winner

Zero2Cool (18h) : Ahh, ok.

bboystyle (18h) : yes due to tie breaker

Zero2Cool (18h) : I mean, unlikely, yes, but mathematically, 5th is possible by what I'm reading.

Zero2Cool (18h) : If Vikings lose out, Packers win out, Packers get 5th, right?

bboystyle (18h) : Minny isnt going to lose out so 5th seed is out of the equation. We are playing for the 6th or 7th seed which makes no difference

Mucky Tundra (19h) : beast, the ad revenue goes to the broadcast company but they gotta pay to air the game on their channel/network

beast (20h) : If we win tonight the game is still relative in terms of 5th, 6th or 7th seed... win and it's 5th or 6th, lose and it's 6th or 7th

beast (20h) : Mucky, I thought the ad revenue went to the broadcasting companies or the NFL, at least not directly

Zero2Cool (20h) : I think the revenue share is moot, isn't it? That's the CBA an Salary Cap handling that.

bboystyle (20h) : i mean game becomes irrelevant if we win tonight. Just a game where we are trying to play spoilers to Vikings chance at the #1 seed

Mucky Tundra (20h) : beast, I would guess ad revenue from more eyes watching tv

Zero2Cool (21h) : I would think it would hurt the home team because people would have to cancel last minute maybe? i dunno

beast (21h) : I agree that it's BS for fans planning on going to the game. But how does it bring in more money? I'm guessing indirectly?

packerfanoutwest (21h) : bs on flexing the game....they do it for the $$league$$, not the hometown fans

Zero2Cool (22h) : I see what you did there Mucky

Zero2Cool (22h) : dammit. 3:25pm

Zero2Cool (22h) : Packers Vikings flexed to 3:35pm

Mucky Tundra (22h) : Upon receiving the news about Luke Musgrave, I immediately fell to the ground

Mucky Tundra (22h) : Yeah baby!

Zero2Cool (22h) : LUKE MUSGRAVE PLAYING TONIGHT~!~~~~WOWHOAAOHAOAA yah

Zero2Cool (23h) : I wanna kill new QB's ... blitz the crap out of them.

beast (23h) : Barry seemed to get too conservative against new QBs, Hafley doesn't have that issue

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : However, we seem to struggle vs new QB's

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : Should be moot point, cuz Packers should win tonight.

packerfanoutwest (23-Dec) : ok I stand corrected

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : Ok, yes, you are right. I see that now how they get 7th

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : 5th - Packers win out, Vikings lose out. Maybe?

beast (23-Dec) : Saying no to the 6th lock.

beast (23-Dec) : No, with the Commanders beating the Eagles, Packers could have a good chance of 6th or 7th unless the win out

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : I think if Packers win, they are locked 6th with chance for 5th.

beast (23-Dec) : But it doesn't matter, as the Packers win surely win one of their remaining games

beast (23-Dec) : This is not complex, just someone doesn't want to believe reality

beast (23-Dec) : We already have told you... if Packers lose all their games (they won't, but if they did), and Buccaneers and Falcons win all theirs

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : I posted it in that Packers and 1 seed thread

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : I literally just said it.

packerfanoutwest (23-Dec) : show us a scenario where Pack don't get in? bet you can't

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : Falcons, Buccaneers would need to win final two games.
