Lebeau vs Capers

Ben vs Aaron? Good stuff...
Wallace vs Woodson? Not half bad...

Me? Hell, I'm looking forward to Dick Lebeau vs Dom Capers.

Two of the best defensive minds in the history of football, philosophies rooted in the 3-4 and  and both with ties to Pittsburgh.

They say that imitation is the finest form of flattery and the Packers chose wisely. With Capers, Kevin Greene and a defensive game plan that looks just a little familiar they decided to mimic the most consistently excellent D on the planet and in two seasons it has served them well.

I am hoping that each one throws the other a wrinkle they have not yet seen, because otherwise it may appear they are looking in the mirror.
