With the Packers defense holding by far the highest average lead at the start of a drive in the entire league in 2014 opponents were forced to throw the ball more often and Capers was probably fine with giving up time consuming drives while trying to prevent big plays. That's why he lined up in subpackages more often.The Packers defense spent an average of 29:27 minutes per game on the field (more than 11 other teams). They could have prevented to stay on the field by forcing some more three and outs or punts, to blame the offense is wrong IMO.Both Burnett and Clinton-Dix had a better season in 2014 than Harrison Smith. If the Packers find someone capable of playing a solid season opposite Shields their secondary will be fine.</blockquote>
