Dom Capers - that's going to be the difference in my opinion. He doesn't give lip service to being aggressive, he is aggressive. I believe he'll coach that way as long as McCarthy leaves him alone. Sure we might give up some big plays, we did anyhow, but hopefully big defensive plays more than make up for it.
I was very unimpressed with the old defensive coaching staff from the beginning.
My favorite linebacker was Ray Nitschke and the only one better, IMO, and I hate to say it, was Butkus. To me Lambert was in that class but third.
