Your Green Bay Packers: Telling It Like It Is
Dom Capers
Mike Nolan Spurned Packers For Family
Jan 27th
Since we’ve been foaming at the mouth for the past two days about Brett Favre and the Minnesota Vikings’ playoff implosion, we’ve ultimately ignored some Green Bay Packers “news.”
One of those items is the fact that former Denver Broncos and current Miami Dolphins defensive coordinator Mike Nolan admitted that he turned the Packers down when [...]
Packers’ Dom Capers Asleep At the Wheel
Jan 15th
This footage could partially explain why the Green Bay Packers vaunted defense played so poorly against the Arizona Cardinals last Sunday (although we think there are two other clear-cut reasons).
In it, you’ll see Packers defensive coordinator Dom Capers, who appears to dose off and then suddenly jerk back to life like someone who’s trying to [...]
Packers Stray From Winning Game Plan
Dec 21st
During the Green Bay Packers five-game winning streak, their game plan was pretty simple – control the clock, take care of the football and let the defense loose on the opposing quarterback.
And just as soon as I patted coach Mike McCarthy and defensive coordinator Dom Capers on the back for devising a winning strategy, they [...]
The Secret of the Packers’ Success
Dec 19th
A lot of reasons have been bandied about for the Green Bay Packers resurgence in the last five games. Most spectators point to the Packers’ dominant defense. Others focus on the improvement of the offensive line.
Those things have been a big part of the Packers’ recent success, but here’s the real reason the Packers have [...]
Capers Defensive Strategy is Curious
Nov 24th
Or maybe it’s Dom Capers lack of defensive strategy that’s curious. Either way, the Green Bay Packers defense is a strange beast.
One second, they’re dominant. The next… eh, not so much.
We are talking about the third-ranked unit in the NFL, but Sunday’s win over the San Francisco 49ers showed just how Jeykl and Hyde the [...]
Did Packers Get Right Defensive Coordinator?
Nov 10th
When the Green Bay Packers fired defensive coordinator Bob Sanders in January, coach Mike McCarthy interviewed Gregg Williams, then the former Jacksonville Jaguars defensive coordinator, and Mike Nolan, then the former San Francisco 49ers coach.
Williams’ story is well documented. He had interviewed with New Orleans Saints coach Sean Payton prior to visiting Green Bay. Payton [...]
Bengals 31, Packers 24 – Observations and Opinions
Sep 21st
To quote The Jeffrey Lebwoski, the plan has crashed into the mountain.
More painfully one sided than the close score suggests, yesterdays defeat to the lowly Cincinnati Bengals exposed more weaknesses and vulnerabilities for the Pack. The offensive line play was even shakier than last week and aside from a valiant effort on the part of Charles Woodson, the defense was horrible. To add insult to injury, or rather injury to injury – the Packers lost three more starters.
Green Bay Packers: 5 Reasons for Excitement
Jul 1st
With training camp beginning at the end of the month, I am starting to get excited for the upcoming Green Bay Packers season.
Since we’re in the down time between the Packers mini-camp and training camp, I figured now is as good a time as any to get you excited too.
There are some very good reasons [...]
The Packers Linebacker Brouhaha
Jun 2nd
Yeah, I said it. What are you going to do about it? From DayLife.com
Much is being made of the Green Bay Packers linebacker situation this offseason season.
The transition to the 3-4 defense of Dom Capers has forced several Packers’ players to make position changes, and it has left the two outside linebacker spots up for [...]
Al Harris: Fuck You Guys!
Jun 1st
Don’t ever question me, motherfucker! Getty Images
The Green Bay Packers have been lucky enough to have one of the top cornerbacks in the game for the past six seasons in Al Harris.
In his early Packers career, I used to refer to him as “Solid,” i.e. Al “Solid” Harris, because that’s what he was – not [...]
Free Agency 2009: Our Guys
Feb 16th
The 2009 free agency signing period begins on February 27 and the Green Bay Packers are in very good shape, at approximately $25 million below the projected $123 million salary cap.
Before we reveal our list of free agency demands for 2009, let’s take a look at the Packers own free agents. The most substantial name [...]
Al Harris, Justin Harrell Not Suited For 3-4
Feb 4th
Following yesterday’s news that defensive end Aaron Kampman will move to outside linebacker in defensive coordinator Dom Capers’ 3-4 scheme, there was news today questioning whether cornerback Al Harris is fit for the scheme, and suggesting that defensive tackle Justin “the Big Bust” Harrell will move to defensive end.
We’ll start with Harris, who has been [...]
Kampman to OLB
Feb 3rd
Coach Mike “Smartest Guy in the Room” McCarthy confirmed (sort of) that Aaron Kampman will be moving from defensive end to outside linebacker in new defensive coordinator Dom Capers 3-4 defense, today.
“Well, it depends on what personnel we have on the field. When we line up in the first base defense, yeah, Aaron will be [...]
Dom Capers and the 3-4. A Good Fit?
Jan 20th
After an unprecedented purge of defensive coaching staff, after much hemming and hawing and after much speculation, the Green Bay Packers have settled on former Texans Coach Dom Capers as their new defensive coordinator.
I’m not sure how I feel about this.
On one hand, I like the hire. Dom Capers brings the type of gravitas that [...]
Capers Is the Man
Jan 19th
First, where the hell have I been? Well, drunk, mostly, but I also spent some time in Vegas for convention season, so I’ve been out of the loop.
So we’ve finally settled on a defensive coordinator, and his name is Dom Capers. Anyone who knows anything about football will recall that Capers coached the Carolina Panthers [...]
