Revel8 Posted September 7, 2017 Share Posted September 7, 2017 10 hours ago, deltarich87 said: So is this a do or die season for Capers as DC? Team has invested in the defense year after year with their early picks in the draft and the results have largely been the same. They now doubled down with even more defensive additions via draft(first 4 picks) as well as FA(3 signings). Add in a waiver claim on another player and you certainly can't blame the FO for doing its part to provide talent on that end. There's too many unknown variables. A season derailed by injuries like last season isn't exactly the DC's fault. Even if he was going to be sent packing, there would have to be a good option in replacement.

spilltray Posted September 7, 2017 Share Posted September 7, 2017 Just now, PackyAttacky said: Really, I am sure he will be fine, but I thought he was flat this pre-season. I didn't see that. He didn't really make any splash plays, but he was solid pretty much every down. For me, that's almost MORE impressive for a rookie, not having major lapses. It'll all come together as he gets reps.

Think he needs to adjust more to the NFL, I bet when this guy stops thinking on the field he will wreck havoc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would disagree that Foster is a "thumper." In just a few preseason plays (not to mention his college film), I saw him have range and close on RBs faster than Ryan or Martinez could run in shorts w/o pads. IMO, Foster, if healthy is a potential future Pro Bowl caliber type player as an ILB...the biggest question is whether he actually can stay healthy.

TheOnlyThing Posted September 9, 2017 Share Posted September 9, 2017 Datone Jones now available if another body is needed at OLB, though from the picture he looks more like the DT the Vikes unsuccessfully tried to turn him into. http://www.twincities.com/2017/09/08/vikings-reach-injury-settlement-with-dt-datone-jones-pockets-at-least-1-8-million/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Completely agree. Looked good on STs too. He could be a demon there. I won't be shocked if we see a lot of Burnett or Jones at ILB this game vs the Seahawks. Somebody is gonna go 1on1 with Graham and my bet is Burnett, with HaHa taking his turns too. Is Brice healthy? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vegas492 Posted September 9, 2017 Share Posted September 9, 2017 Been a long, long time since I've been this happy with the safeties on the squad in Week 1. Crazy talented and very flexible. I'll bet Capers finds a way to get a lot of those guys on the field together in a few packages. DC certainly has more pieces this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spilltray Posted September 10, 2017 Share Posted September 10, 2017 seriously just wow. The DL was manhandling the Seattle offensive line the entire game. The LBs and DBs were flying to the ball. Fackrell was even doing some nice things. This could be good. Really good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Discuss Barring injury it can be a Super Bowl caliber defense as pointed out last week. The main problem with the D last season was injuries concentrated at key positions. The Packers' defense has not only gotten healthier this season, they have added more depth, experience and talent. It's a defense, when healthy, that is actually capable of helping the Packers win another Super Bowl. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skibrett15 Posted September 11, 2017 Share Posted September 11, 2017 Perry, Mathews, Daniels, Lowry, Brooks. We need 4 of those healthy and we can be SCARY. Daniels on 3rd down in the pressure package is a different animal than what we've seen (since his rookie season anyway) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReadyToThump Posted September 11, 2017 Share Posted September 11, 2017 Great showing, in WEEK 1. If we manage to play great again in week 2, then I'll be happy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
packfanfb Posted September 11, 2017 Share Posted September 11, 2017 Defense looked sharp, but ATL will be a greater test for our revamped pass defense. As an aside, who will have more INTs this year, King or TJ Watt? ? Still think we are going to regret not drafting the guy who I think is going to run away with the DROY award.
