Yes, the team has maintained success, but I think he was trying to say TT isn't doing a good job at getting this team over the hump and building on the success of a previous year.For example, the team basically made the Superbowl in 2014, and probably would've been in a great position to beat the Patriots. The pass defense was 6th in yards per game, the run was in the 20s , and the D was around 15 in points against per game. It was an average to above average defense that got lifted because of how well the offense was in both phases. It sucks to say it but the Packers probably missed their turn in 2014. Rodgers' MVP level play almost won it for us and the defense was solid, just needed a little more talent out there on that side of the ball and TT has done a poor job of addressing that.He chose to let House and Tramon depart to bring in Randall and Rollins and the pass defense didn't miss a beat. Great stuff. But the Run defense didn't improve at all, went from 119.1 ypg to 119.9. We basically had identical defenses in 2014 and 2015, when ideally it should've taken a step forward.Maybe instead of trading out 2 vet CBs for 2 rookie CBs, you keep one of the vet CBs that were part of a solid pass defense in 2014, and go ahead and draft an ILB like ERIC KENDRICKS ( a bunch of us were high on him and we desperately needed an ILB after losing Hawk and Brad Jones) or beef up the Defensive line. Now you put the run defense in a position to improve while most likely maintaining the pass defense. And you can probably still grab Randall in the second round anyway. So it would've been Shields Hayward House or Tramon Randall Gunter, and whatever 1st round talent to plug into the run defense that was bottom of the league.Plugging in 2 rookies to replace Tramon and House wasn't a bad decision, it just maybe wasn't 100% necessary if you would've kept one of the vets and then went on and addressed ILB that was a huge hole. Pass D was fine and maybe didn't need all of that shuffling around. Similar thing last offseason too, we lose Raji and I believe he should've signed a mid level DL to replace him instead of investing the 1st round pick into that area. Then once again, that lets you draft another position of bigger need.</blockquote>
