Capers has absolutely been an excellent shot in the arm for the Packers defense. My only worry is retaining Capers beyond this season or next.

I know what you mean. Even when he 1st arrived here, when he was asked(by the media) if he would give it another shot at being a HC again he said he wouldn't oppose the opportunity. I hope no one offers the guy a Head Coach position which could be very possible if continues to succeed here, which I think he will.

Expansion team or not, Capers really wasn't that great a HC in Houston. Next to that, the trend seems to be to hire young guys and hope they work out like Tomlin. He doesn't fit that description.

Not saying that that should hold teams back from hiring a HC, but with his resum showing that he's a great DC, but average coach, I can't imagine any team taking a shot at him. Especially not since most teams have some young talent from within their system.

As everyone says, the NFL is a copycat league, and right now everyone is hiring young first time head coaches. That could keep Capers in GB even if he has a few great seasons. We can only hope.

He's 59 years old. Maybe he feels like he's too old to mess around with a head coaching job. fingers crossed!

In agreement with those who think that Capers probably won't get another shot at HC. Sometimes great co-ordinators don't make great Head Coaches and sometimes great Head Coaches make lousy co-ordinators. Not the same job, not requiring the same skillset.

So far, the Capers schemes have been fantastic, and I much enjoy this D. There are still some tests to come, but to this point, I don't have many complaints at all about the D play. Much improved over last year.

The trend hasn't been the age of the new HCs, it's been the money associated to a young unestablished coach. Don't underestimate the power of bottom line in a lot of organizations.

The other side of this is does Capers even want to be a HC again? If we have a string of years of success in GB with Capers, maybe he'll be content to stay long term as DC. I think of Jim Johnson and Lebeau, would have to have a legacy at DC here in GB.

I hope teams realized this. In San Diego it seemed they've ignored Norv Turner's resume and just are sticking with him regardless. Turner is a good example, he's a great Offensive Coordinator, but a so-so Head Coach.

dfosterf (4-May) : Google it. Make sure to tack NFL on it or you will get the military meaning
Zero2Cool (4-May) : S2?
beast (4-May) : Seems like the S2 has a love/hate relationship with professional scouts.
beast (4-May) : In theory, the S2 test how quickly a QBs brain can solve game like issues and how quickly they can do it.
dfosterf (4-May) : Are you gentlemen and at least one lady familiar with the S2 cognition
Zero2Cool (4-May) : Maybe there isn't an issue.
beast (4-May) : NFL really needs to fix their position labeling issue, but I don't think they care
Zero2Cool (1-May) : Packers did not activate the fifth-year options for linebacker Quay Walker, with the goal of signing him to a contract extension.
Zero2Cool (1-May) : Matthew Golden spoke with Randall Cobb before draft. Looked like chance encounter.
packerfanoutwest (1-May) : from a head left turn?
packerfanoutwest (1-May) : someone drunk?
Zero2Cool (1-May) : Unlikely.
dfosterf (30-Apr) : How long until Jeff Sperbeck's family sues John Elway ?
Zero2Cool (30-Apr) : Packers are exercising the fifth-year option on DT Devonte Wyatt, locking in a guaranteed $12.9M for the 2026 season.
beast (30-Apr) : Sounds like P Luke Elzinga has a rookie try out opportunity from the Titans
dfosterf (30-Apr) : Luke Elzinga Punter Oklahoma stil unsigned. Green Bay has been mentioned as good fit
beast (30-Apr) : The Packers re-signed three exclusive rights free agents WR Melton, P Whelan and RB Wilson.
Zero2Cool (29-Apr) : February 5, 2002 (age 23) ok no. packers.com is wrong
Zero2Cool (29-Apr) : Micah Robinson is only 19??
Zero2Cool (29-Apr) : 6 first rounders on Packers defense now
Zero2Cool (29-Apr) : LB Isaiah Simmons. Signed. Called it!!! Oh yeah!
Martha Careful (29-Apr) : ty bboystyle...fat fingers
bboystyle (29-Apr) : Tom*
Martha Careful (28-Apr) : RIP Packer Safety Tim Brown
beast (27-Apr) : Yeah, but also some of the wording suggestions Jax only pranked called the QB, not the others... and if he had an open spreadsheet & 3 calls
beast (27-Apr) : Thank goodness he's not leaving the Turtle in the Red Tide
Mucky Tundra (27-Apr) : Cowboys 1st round pick Tyler Booker will indeed be bringing his pet turtle to Dallas with him
Mucky Tundra (27-Apr) : that contained all prospects info and contact
Mucky Tundra (27-Apr) : beast, according the Falcons statement Jax came across it on an ipad. If I had to guess, probably an open spread sheet or something
Zero2Cool (27-Apr) : Simmons put up an emoji with cheese.
beast (27-Apr) : Not sure anyone is interested in Isaiah Simmons... Collin Oliver might of taken his potential slot
beast (27-Apr) : I'm going with Jax Ulbrich is not telling the whole truth... he accidentally came across it? Why would a defensive coordinator have a QB #?
Zero2Cool (27-Apr) : He's not that great, but final piece of the script.\
Zero2Cool (27-Apr) : If we add Isaiah Simmons, book your Super Bowl tickets
Mucky Tundra (27-Apr) : Colts 1st round TE Tyler Warren also got prank called, was that Jax Ulbrich as well?
Zero2Cool (27-Apr) : Jax Ulbrich, Jeff Ulbrich’s son, released an apology for his role in the Shedeur Sanders prank call.
Martha Careful (27-Apr) : apparently he did not participate in practice or play on the east west shrine game nor the NFL combine. The kid was a mediocre spoiled brat
Mucky Tundra (27-Apr) : Yeah that one that was a super wounded duck that Sanders supporters are highlighting to prove a point
Zero2Cool (27-Apr) : Shough is the guy who missed guys at combine isn't he?
beast (27-Apr) : It's not official until I'm dead! I have a chance still! (Not really)
