I'd like to see more Clay and Bishop for sure.

One thing i noticed against the vikings. The only time i really saw pressure on favre was when woodson blitzed. Do we need to see more of that?

---

Brett was hit twice by Kampman. I think it was the 2 plays he wasn't dropped into coverage. (OK maybe a little exaggeration)

The 2-5 is bad IMO. It requires more from the LBers to stop the run, than having the close to 1000 lbs in with 3 down lineman.

---

I would think that would be good. I'm not getting a huge boner about having our best CB blitzing, but if it gets the QB rattled, go for it.

---

I think every time we see Kampman drop into coverage, Dom Capers should be kicked in the nuts.

---

I think it's just bad Coaching, preferably i would have Kampy rushing every 2nd/3rd down, rush chillar, BISHOP, and Matthews they got the talent but just not aggressive play calling recently pretty frustrating really

How come there is not an "Offense can't get first downs so defense is tired" option?

I agree with your general premise - the choices present a too simplistic premise.

Any team which loses a relatively assignment sure players is going to be in trouble. Look at the Giants with Kenny Phillips... they're turning to Aaron Rouse.

Depth is an issue, but it would be on 29 or 30 other teams as well when the starters go down. That said, Ted Thompson for whatever reason loves to go with younger talent. Works well when you have vets that can be counted on. Unfortunately Packers don't have too many vets that can be counted on to play almost the entire season.


Second is underachievement. This is on coaches, just as it should be on players. You're at the biggest level of your profession, and if you can't get motivated to go out and beat the player opposite you... then there is a problem.


That said, it is up to coaches to put players in position to make plays also. That hasn't always been done, as Kamp's stats will attest to.


Blame all around, IMO. but the blame game right now is useful only in so far as finding out the areas that are leading to these problems.

fisrt we need more snaps for CM3...

then why in the nickel package we have only 2 DL...a lot of second and almost all the third down situation we rush with only 2 DL...is that so normal?? ok, we have an extra DB but if we give all the time to the QB to throw the ball is gonna find an open receiver every time...don't we need more push from the line that give more shots to OLBs to make the big play???

I read a McCarthy statement where he was addressing the lack of opportunity given Kampman to make an impact on pressuring the QB. He acknowledged that AK has not been given the number of chances needed and that it was being addressed.

I took this as a between the lines statement that he has approached Capers with the concern and more than likely it was duely noted.

There is no question seeing #74 with his hand on the ground will have a positive effect on the amount of pressure. Kampman has always been able to bring it without selling out the run. The question is what changes it makes along the line and for the LB's in controlling the run because that scheme would change the rolls of the other guys in the trenches.

I just took the way McCarthy worded it that the message was made clear to Capers to get Kampman crossing the LOS more than he has so far.
