Capers assesses Packers' beleaguered defense
Green Bay Press Gazette

So what does defensive coordinator Dom Capers think of his defense, which ranks No. 16 in the league?

“I think this: I see the potential there,” Capers said on Monday. “As I look at the last three games, the takeaway opportunities are there. I think we’re getting more consistent pressure on the quarterback than what we did last year. We probably pressured more (Sunday) than we have this year but I like where our percentage of pressure is this year better than I did last year, where you thought you had to pressure to get pressure on the quarterback.

(Andrew) Luck, as we talked about last week, is a talented young man. You saw he’s a big, strong guy. He’s got good movement. There were a couple times where we had him wrapped up and he kind of shook us off and pulled the ball down in a couple of critical situations. A couple other times, he scrambled outside – and that was after taking some pretty good hits.”

Watched some of the replay last night & Capers is correct, we have dropped a number of Interceptions. Just like on offense, the opportunities are there, we are just not cashing in on them. DJ Smith looked bad in the 4th quarter on a few plays where he showed a lack of speed, one was on a run outside, where he initially had good containment position but just couldn't get there, another he was blitzing & had a bead on Luck, but again looked too slow to get there.
