With most of what is quoted above. I hate the idea of a coach coming and forcing players into a scheme that doesn’t work to their abilities. A defense works best, in my opinion, when the coaches let the players play. At the same time, though, I don’t feel the Packers made this move without giving it serious consideration, examining the pro’s and con’s. As the quote says, the Packers aren’t desperate or in a rebuilding move, so we can’t view this as some sort of drastic change. It was calculated and we’ll see how it pays off.

I wouldn’t say desperate, but GM Ted Thompson moves fast in the face of bad news. When the Packers went 4-12 in 2005, he wasted no time firing Mike Sherman. He wasn’t going to sit still. After a 6-10 season, a major step back from the NFC Championship with a bad run defense, he went big. Out go all the defensive coaches, and welcome 3-4. Maybe that is impatience, but I think that he moves quickly in a different direction after a set back to seem like someone who is always able to adapt.
