Fact is if just one of those Rodgers interceptions was actually caught by Mingo or Vildor its a very different outcome.

No, you mean an established good coordinator wont be coming here so that doesn't mean a good coordinator wont be hired--he will likely be unknown.

You're still not getting the pick of the litter. Everyone knows this staff could be gone soon.

Eddie Jackson is worthless. He's invisible unless he has a good pass rush in front of him as was the case at Alabama. He is not physical. Obviously he should have audibled out of that horrible blitz, they were in quarters and when he saw DT on 83.. he's the god damn QB of the secondary.

I do think there's something to Pagano being a problem. Hicks's play completely falling off a cliff though and losing Goldman are big losses though upfront.
One thing we should have all expected though is for the entire defense to regress when Fangio left
You just can't replace one of the best defensive minds in all of football and expect not to take a step back.
Is Pagano as good as Fangio? Absolutely not and we've seen that.
If there's a difference in how he's using Eddie Jackson right now vs. what Fangio did then its time to rethink things and bring somebody else in.

Defense is old by NFL standards. They simply can’t play at a high level anymore. Mack is already out of his prime. Hicks is a shell of his former self. Those two guys have to be playing at a high level for everything else to fall into place.

He's worked a few really good defenses, including obviously under Fangio for a few years.

Further, the Packers went 5 wide and the bears went man across the board with a double slot blitz. That's cover 0 not quarters.

It was quarters, the safeties were bracketing the receivers on the outside and Eddie Jackson tried jumping the route, he guessed wrong and got smoked.
The worst part of all of this is having Hicks peel back into a zone..

The same thing that happened to the Jags and Texans once dominant defenses. Hard to sustain in today's NFL.

He jump the route because that's his only responsibility on the play. It's man across the board. Bracket coverage is designed to dbl a specific receiver. You don't set your safties up to bracket in an empty formation with two dbs blitzing. If you did it would be pure negligence because there would be people open everywhere inside the hashes. I rewatched this play about 8 times now.
You can't ask a Safety to bracket on the outside and simultaneously carry inside leverage on the slot wr.
