Dom Capers hired as Patriots' Special Assisstant

The former Head Coach of the Houston Texans as well as the Carolina Panthers, and the defensive co-ordinator of the Miami Dolphins before being fired by Parcells this off-season, was signed by the New England Patriots to oversee their pass-protection. This includes not only their linemen, but also helping RBs and FBs with keeping rushers away from the QB. Having a guy with head coaching ability in your staff is always a plus and will only help the Patriot's get stronger. I think it's an especially good hire for them since they really do need to get top effort out of their linemen, who are a pretty pedestrian bunch. They lack a guy with true franchise ability at any of the positions, even their star, LT Matt Light, is more of a finesse than power player.
