In "NASCAR," Capers went without any traditional defensive linemen in what was a dime (six defensive back) secondary alignment. Instead, he lined up Matthews and Peppers -- his starting outside linebackers -- as defensive tackles on the interior of the line and flanked them with Nick Perry and Mike Neal as outside linebackers.

"It gets all four of our elephant types on the field at the same time," Packers coach Mike McCarthy said. "Yeah, it's been very productive."

Capers used it only in third-down situations. The first five times he employed "NASCAR" on Sunday, the Packers came up with third-down stops on four of them, including Perry's sack of Cam Newton on third-and-5 to end the Panthers' second series. Carolina converted just 4-of-12 third downs.

Dom Capers and his NASCAR defense are the toast of Packernation today, and indications are the acquisition of Julius Peppers in the offseason made it possible.

ā€œHe gives you great diversity. He can rush, he can drop. Clay (Matthews) has always been able to do that. Julius gives us another guy,ā€ Capers said when asked on Monday if Peppers has been the difference maker on a defense that is showing more schematic creativity.

This sort of reminds me of the "Psycho" package we ran in 2010 to win the superbowl with Cullen Jenkins as the solo DLineman.

Staying healthy will be key to having packages like this be successful down the stretch. We are seeing a return to some of the interesting options this defense from Capers can offer provided he has the players to make it work.

The thing that's better about this package, though, is that Matthews, Peppers, Neal and Perry are, in essence, just your standard 4-man front, but with four ridiculous pass rushers. And they can rush on every play, rather than having two or three of the five DT/OLBs rush on the play like they had in the psycho package.

Then again, the psycho did bring a lot more uncertainty for opposing QBs and O-lines.

dfosterf (25-Mar) : Hopefully the refs don't get in the habit of throwing flags on this
beast (25-Mar) : I think when it comes to Challenges should get two strikes, so unlimited challenges as long as they keep winning them, but 2 wrong then done
dfosterf (25-Mar) : Still subject to the fines etc
dfosterf (25-Mar) : Yes, I should have been more specific. Also, they are now saying it would be a 15 yard penalty. That makes more sense .
beast (25-Mar) : Simply fined in the week to follow
beast (25-Mar) : I agree with one NFL official, it'll probably be like some of the helmets hits, not really called by the refs on the field but simply fined
Zero2Cool (25-Mar) : Hip drop is not. Super confusing. Referees job is harder
