Tom
If the Packers defense plays the way they have been against Washington are they doomed?
It’s one of these scenarios
Either Pettine is being stubborn and not adapting to his personal
His schemes are not working
Or
They just wasted the last few years on draft choices that just aren’t very good
Ok Tom
Give it your best shot -

good morning tom. loved Xs and Os this week, really great insight about the defensive struggles. whats your opinion on why they cant iron out the coverage lapses? is it the coaches not being able to effectively communicate to the players? the players not being disciplined? inexperience? is the scheme fundamentally flawed/exploitable?

I think it's a little bit of each. The deep route against the Giants that I thought Savage blew was actually a scheme flaw. I talked to several players and they said it was just the right play against that particular call. I don't know if the scheme is more complicated than it should be or there's too many moving parts, but they've got to get those big plays down.

Hey Tom, it sure seems that Rogers has trouble "playing on schedule" when things breakdown just a little. He has actually had good success this season when staying in, and stepping into the pocket. Your thoughts on why he gives up so early? Checking in from Glendale, California.
