ya capers scheme isnt good enough IMO what he is doing isnt good enough
look at the broncos - they also did a new defense this year. And they are 3rd with sacks at 26. Now are their guys much better then ours? ... I dont think so. Ill take our D players over theirs anyday.
ok what denver isnt good enough - how about the DC sean mcdermott we went after; at philadelphia (first year DC at phily) (now their guys could be better then ours - bit iffy there). They are 2nd in the league with 27 sacks.
Capers needs to be more aggressive with the right guys. Stop blitizing a corner and come with some powerhouse backers. Bishop/hawk/kampman/matthews (these guys can all blitz alright - chillar and barnett do ok but they do better coverage jobs then blitzes).
oh ya we are 29th in the sack department.
and ya I dont blame our players
Jolly, pickett, and jenkins have been outstanding IMO (much much better then I could have imagined).

Dulak - I was one of the people cheering loudly when we got Dom Capers. I really hate it when I'm this wrong.
Our D isn't that impressive. It generates no pressure and so far this year, we haven't had the big plays we had last year on our 6-10 team on D.
I don't get it. I honestly don't. Does Capers need more time? Well, you answered that question with your examples. So I guess that excuse isn't valid.
And I agree, it's not our players. I love our D. I love Woody, Kampy, Harris, Collins, Barnett, and Jenkins. Jolly is good. Hawk can use improvement but he's still a decent player. Matthews is impressive in his first 8 games. So you can't really say it's the personnel.
I just want to know WTF is going on out there? Why are we allowing so many points? How did we allow all those points to the Bucs, who we should have slaughtered?
