As versatile and complicated as Capers' scheme will be to opponents, it will be just as hard to digest and comprehend for the Packers.

This is bull. The Packers have the entire training camp and four preseason games to make this work before even game 1, and adjustments will be made all season long. An opposing O has 1 week to study film before playing us.

add to this the fact that a big part of what makes Capers an excellent coach/DC is his ability to adapt the scheme to fit the personel.

Bozz - I was thinking the same thing. That's one of Dom's greatest strengths - adaptation.

I wanted to add, this is one of the best articles I've seen in a long time. Excellent read. It was only one point I had issue with. The rest was extremely informative.

Agreed, some of these old school beat writers seem to forget that the NFL has become a 12 month a year sport with all the offseason camps that take place.. I do not think it is going to be an overwhelming chore to become comfortable with the defense in a single offseason.. at least not with the experience that Capers brings with him and the staff he has put together..

No built in excuses shall be given... a blown assignment here or there is common.. but several a game and repetitively should not be accepted.. and I have a feeling with this staff on the defensive side with won't be.

I wasnt impressed with our LBers last year - ya I like barnett and I think chillar has some good coverage skills but I think our guys perform underpar.

I'm feeling 100% better thou coming into this next season.

We have a great DC and a Great LB coach (greene) to teach our guys. Let alone some new blood in the mix and a new system to use our LBers to their strengths.

Last year I loved watching our O play; this year I have a feeling I will be enjoying our D play much more.

I think I have over expressed my disappointment in the Linebacker play last season.. and my thoughts on retaining Moss as well.

Color me extremely disappointed if the Backers aren't the fireplug of raw emotions for the team this season.. extremely.

In their defense, if the DL was doing their job, the LBs wouldn't have sucked so badly.

I won't buy into that excuse when watching the tapes, to many times did you see the backer waiting instead of attacking a play... our linebacking play was passive at best.. sissy-like at worse... they deserved a better public "calling out" than Moss gave them once the season was over.. their play was pathetic at times.

You may be right. I do need to see them again.

I saw the games each once and live. What I remember was they were exhausted by the 4th Q.

I'm not too worried though. I think the waiting vs attacking problem can be fixed with coaching, a problem we fixed in the offseason.

Zombie, I will agree that our depleted line play added to the backers issues no doubt.

We undermanned the front last season, got hit by a couple of untimely injuries with Jenkins and Barnett going down, but to excuse any group that could have changed the outcome isn't correct either, IMO.

Lessons were hopefully learned last season, like if Harrell isn't ready to play game one, don't count on him game 6. Keep the numbers until players prove they can help the team along.

The worst sign last season, to me, is that we were missing an attitude in the box on defense..

Fast forward to this season and the makeup of this staff, we should have plenty of attitude with Trgovac and Greene being added.. Mike's contributions and impact to this 09' defense have been under estimated to this point IMO.

Zero2Cool (16h) : sounds like Packers don't get good compensation, Jaire staying

dfosterf (20h) : Nobody coming up with a keep, but at x amount

dfosterf (20h) : Trade, cut or keep

dfosterf (21h) : that from Jaire

dfosterf (21h) : My guess is the Packers floated the concept of a reworked contract via his agent and agent got a f'

Zero2Cool (21h) : Yes, and that is why I think Rob worded it how he did. Rather than say "agent"

dfosterf (21h) : Same laws apply. Agent must present such an offer to Jaire. Cannot accept or reject without presenting it

Zero2Cool (21h) : I'm thinking that is why Rob worded it how he did.

dfosterf (21h) : The Packers can certainly still make the offer to the agent

dfosterf (21h) : Laws of agency and definition of fiduciary responsibility

dfosterf (21h) : Jaire is open to a reduced contract without Jaire's permission

dfosterf (21h) : The agent would arguably violate the law if he were to tell the Packers

Zero2Cool (21h) : That someone ... likely the agent.

Zero2Cool (21h) : So, Jaire has not been offered nor rejected a pay reduction, but someone says he'd decline.

Zero2Cool (21h) : Demovksy says t was direct communication with someone familiar with Jaire’s line of thinking at that moment.

Zero2Cool (22h) : Demovsky just replied to me a bit ago. Jaire hasn't said it.

dfosterf (23h) : Of course, that depends on the definition of "we"

dfosterf (23h) : We have been told that they haven't because he wouldn't accept it. I submit we don't know that

dfosterf (23h) : What is the downside in making a calculated reduced offer to Jaire?

Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : Packers are receiving interest in Jaire Alexander but a trade is not imminent

Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : Jalen Ramsey wants to be traded. He's never happy is he?

Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : two 1sts in 2022 and two 2nd's in 2023 and 2024

Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : Packers had fortunate last three drafts.

dfosterf (15-Apr) : I may have to move

dfosterf (15-Apr) : My wife just told the ancient Japanese sushi dude not enough rice under his fish

Zero2Cool (14-Apr) : I think a dozen is what I need

dfosterf (14-Apr) : Go fund me for this purpose just might work. A dozen nurses show up at 1265 to provide mental health assistance.

dfosterf (14-Apr) : Maybe send a crew of Angels to the Packers draft room on draft day.

Zero2Cool (14-Apr) : I am the Angel that gets visited.

dfosterf (14-Apr) : Visiting Angels has a pretty good reputation

Zero2Cool (14-Apr) : what

Martha Careful (14-Apr) : WINNING IT, not someone else losing it. The best victory though was re-uniting with his wife

Martha Careful (14-Apr) : The manner in which he won it was just amazing and wonderful. First blowing the lead then getting back, then blowing it. But ultimately

Zero2Cool (12-Apr) : I'm guessing since the thumb was broken, he wasn't feeling it.

dfosterf (10-Apr) : Looking for guidance. Not feeling the thumb.

Mucky Tundra (10-Apr) : If they knew about it or not

Mucky Tundra (10-Apr) : I don't recall that he did which is why I asked.

Zero2Cool (10-Apr) : Guessing they probably knew. Did he have cast or something on?

Mucky Tundra (10-Apr) : Did they know that at the time or was that something the realized afterwards?

Zero2Cool (9-Apr) : Van Ness played most of season with broken thumb

wpr (9-Apr) : yay

Zero2Cool (9-Apr) : Mark Murphy says Steelers likely to protect Packers game. Meaning, no Ireland

Zero2Cool (8-Apr) : Struggling to figure out what text editor options are needed and which are 'nice to have'

Mucky Tundra (8-Apr) : *CHOMP CHOMP CHOMP*

Zero2Cool (2-Apr) : WR who said he'd break Xavier Worthy 40 time...and ran slower than you

Mucky Tundra (2-Apr) : Who?

Zero2Cool (2-Apr) : Texas’ WR Isaiah Bond is scheduled to visit the Bills, Browns, Chiefs, Falcons, Packers and Titans starting next week.

Zero2Cool (2-Apr) : Spotting ball isn't changing, only measuring distance is, Which wasn't the issue.

Zero2Cool (2-Apr) : The spotting of the ball IS the issue. Not the chain gang.

Mucky Tundra (2-Apr) : Will there be a tracker on the ball or something?
