I mean you can blame Dom Capers for some stuff but do you see the players out there?
Morgan Burnett sucks at calling the defense for the secondary, and he hasn't been around the football in over a year...
MD Jennings is complete A**.
Those 2 combined for whatever % of the defensive snaps this year and had NO PICKS and like a handful (can count on 1 hand) of passes defended... If I come across the numbers exactly I'll post.
Playoff game vs the 49ers you got dudes like Mulumba getting hurt at OLB and then going back in on a messed up knee trying to play contain on Kaep because there was no one else to step in and do better.... 99.9% of football fans never heard of him to begin with.
Brad Jones is a OLB playing ILB.
Raji hasn't had a sack in like 20 something games after getting 9 in his rookie year.
Casey Hayward out almost all year... Clay missing however many games including playoffs... Nick Perry hurt/ not good
All levels of the defense need major improvements on a personnel level.
Mike Daniels and AJ Hawk probably played the best of anyone on D this year and most people never heard of Mike Daniels.
The list goes on with things wrong with the players on this years D before you even get to talk about scheme.
I know about all the injuries and the talent on that side of the ball has definitely disappointed. That said, I just don't trust Capers. I never have felt he's shown himself to be good at what he does.
