This is a fan blog, and I've never made any pretensions that I really know anything about NFL coaching. What I attempt to do, is examine what's information is accessible and what we see and hear on the broadcasts and on video and share what I find with other fans who want to compare notes.
So passing judgement on something like McCarthy's defensive coaching purge is difficult for me. It's one of those areas, I think, where the proof is only in the pudding. So for what it is worth, I like what I heard and what I have read about Don Capers, Mike Trgovac, and the defensive staff. Last night Bill Michaels and Wayne Larravee gave the new crew a pretty good review.
It's no secret that last season early last season, I felt that Mike McCarthy came off as "smug & cocky" at times. He had it coming and he got it. I hope in the midst of his hirings he got in some R & R because NFL coaches need to stay at the top of their games.
It appears that Capers & crew have the defense pretty well disciplined. That's impressive in the first preseason game. Capers certainly has good credentials, but it was good to see that in practice (pun intended) last night.
