More the latter but the 2 aren't mutually exclusive IMO. He's out of touch and stale and doesnt know how to adjust...so... he doesnt know whats hes doing as a result. There is a reason teams dont stick with the same coaches for this long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Packerraymond Posted October 30, 2017 Share Posted October 30, 2017 It's execution, there's no such thing as a "bad"defensive scheme, like I've said you have a very limited menu of coverages and run gaps you can call. When we're running cover 2, why is it so easy for Jason Witten to just sit in between Ryan/Matthews and Martinez for 8 yard catch after catch? It's common sense that Dom hasn't drawn up some coverage to expose us in this regard. Why can seemingly any backfield player trickle out in a pass pattern against us and have no one within 5 yards of him? There's been a seemingly huge drop off since Burnett went out in secondary execution. Makes me wonder how much good HHCD is in the mental aspects of the game because he's seen plenty of reps to be equal there. My big question still remains, do the players respond to Dom's style of coaching? I honestly will never have an answer to this, that's up for Mac's determination. The defense hasn't been good enough since the end of the Bears game. I'm not going to say it's because Dom's scheme or knowledge as a coach though, he's been doing this longer than most of us have been alive.

That's probably closest to the truth, but I still think it has to do specifically with what Capers runs. If his players aren't executing certain things, it's on him to change things so they can execute, and he isn't doing that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have talented players, but we don't have a truly dominant player. I feel like a Joey Bosa/Jalen Ramsey or Charles Woodson type of game wrecker would make this defense a top 10 defense. I agree but it isn't easy to get a difference maker like these when you are drafting late like we have in the past. We got kinda lucky with Woodson. Everybody thought he was done for but Ted.

If it was solely up to him, I doubt he would have signed Woodson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gopackgonerd Posted October 30, 2017 Share Posted October 30, 2017 Do you think dom is trying to do too much besides doing what the defense as a whole is best at? I think we have the talent to be a decent to good defense. This team has always struggled on 3rd down, why are we always giving up so many 3rd and longs? That's the most frustrating thing. Are we blitzing too much? Are we not playing safe enough on those downs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlexGreen#20 Posted October 30, 2017 Share Posted October 30, 2017 7th on offense in points per drive. 23rd on defense in points per drive. 6th in turnover percentage on defense. Defense is playing slightly below average right now. Considering the injuries we've stacked at DB, that could be a lot worse. Look at our snap percentages in the defensive backfield: ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ HHCD: 98.3% Damarious Randall: 68.3% Kentrell Brice: 62.4% Morgan Burnett: 60.5% Josh Jones: 56.4% Kevin King: 51.8% Davon House: 48.2% Josh Hawkins: 36.1% Quinten Rollins: 30% Marwin Evans: 20.1% Lenzy Pipkins: 9.9% Ladarius Gunter: 0.4% Jermaine Whitehead: 0.2% ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ You take a look at a team like the Seahawks were they've got 3 players in their secondary who have played 100% of snaps and another who has played 94%, and you see where the huge advantage is.

I don't think a single player transaction has happened in GB since 2005 that Ted wasn't on board with. I especially don't believe he wasn't heavily involved in the biggest FA contract he's ever given out as a GM. Im sure Ted isn't the big recruiter once said FAs set foot in GB, I mean look at the GIF Incog posted, that guy is not convincing anyone to sign here lol. That doesn't mean that he isn't in charge of the decision making process on who gets a visit, if that person gets offered a contract, and how much the contract should be worth.

Wasn't there something out there to suggest that Thompson had to have his arm twisted to sign Woodson? It might have just been speculation (that I totally believe), but I'm pretty sure there was something somewhere where someone said or it was said that Thompson had to have his arm almost literally twisted to sign Woodson. Look at who Thompson signed from after our Super Bowl win to this past offseason and it's more and more believable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look at who Thompson signed from after our Super Bowl win to this past offseason and it's more and more believable. He signed vets with elite athletic ability who due to age/injuries had fallen out of favor with their past teams. (Woodson, Peppers, Cook) I don't see Woodson as an outlier.
