According to this article: http://www.jsonline.com/sports/packers/37945919.html Capers wasn't the Packers first or second choice for the job... But he did come highly recommended by Vonnie Holliday, who played for Capers in 05 and 06. You know...for whatever that's worth.
Not at all, 3-4's can confuse QBs and Linemen and gain more sacks for the Pack. I am excited to see the lineup and how they perform next season. I have a good idea on personal for the Linebackers, but not sure on the D-Line. I picture Barnett, Hawk, Chillar, and Poppinga starting as Linebackers, and the D-Line will just be different groups playing at different times with the depth we have.
