I love it when it gets truly "football." I think Zimmer will take some of Caper's blitz packages and incorporate them into his defensive philosophy.

Definitely. I'm really interested to see Week 1 tape to see how many times they used Capers style concepts. It might not be as obvious as a 3-man front

I get the feeling that there will be a preseason this year.....and it’ll be 16 games long. I think several teams will use this season as a tune up for next year. They might not publicize that fact, but it will be the case for many teams.

If I remember correctly one of the draft analysts said after the Treadwell pick "he was slow in the SEC" which really made me nervous about his prospects. Think it may have been Kiper

Yeah, I'm sure there were questions about him with that brutal 40 time... obviously not a perfect prospect. But his NFL.com draft profile compared him to DeAndre Hopkins. It blew up in their face but there were so many analysts on board that it's hard to say it was predictable that he'd be this big of a bust
