That's a strange take. Caldwell is a terrible coach as far as understanding football and how it works and what the point of the game is. But he seems like an ok dude and his players like him. maybe keep him around as team old guy who hangs around and people like ok.

you would be surprised at how many people love Jim Caldwell because he threw away a first round draft pick on a guard who has "good character" or if you're from Michigan maybe you wouldn't be.

Zimmer was coming off a year where his team finished 3-8 and at the end it looked like his players were going off on their own trying to make a play. But he ironed out the problems, and vastly improved the quality of the team throughout the year. Caldwell isn't a bad coach, but he is like Marvin Lewis. He will get you to respectable finishes, but if you want your team to take the next step, he is probably not going to be the person to get you there. The rub is the next coach you get could be much worse then Caldwell. His take on Jason Garrett is 100% spot on though.

The Lord of Hats posted:
The idea with the Dom Capers defense is that, as you've repeatedly read, they bend but don't break. The goal is to create as many small offensive plays as possible ("bend"), to increase the chances of getting a turnover which can swing a game around, and to prevent an opposing offense from making a huge gain or score in one play ("break"). You might recall the 2010 campaign where the Packers had an okay defense but a nonstop flood of turnovers, or the 2014 NFCCG where we picked off Russell Wilson four times before the defense collapsed utterly. There are several problems with this approach: 1. NFL offenses have become significantly better about protecting the ball over the past decade. 2. The defense bends all the way into the end zone and is infamously bad at third down stops and red zone defense. 3. Allowing frequent extended drives wears down the defense, which leads to breakdowns later on in the match. 4. When you have the most talented quarterback in the league, a defensive strategy that effectively amounts to "keep Rodgers off the field as long as possible" is...... not the greatest approach.

The Packers line up the same way on 3rd and over 5 yards every single time and give up the same completion every single time, with at minimum the yardage + 2/3 yards. I'd actually rather take 3rd and short (more in previous years with Micah and Casey in the slot corner positions, but still this year) because the way Capers plays any 3rd passing down is asinine every time. Haha isn't able to play to his strengths anymore. He's become sheepish and lovely and looks lost. I just refuse to accept that regression to this level is a physical thing, yet here we are. Damarious turned his season around and if Kevin King can stay healthy the two of them are a serviceable duo in situations where the pass rush can create any sort of pressure, but they still desperately need a Hayward type replacement for slot corner.
