I think Pete is actually a genius on defense. The problem is he refuses to find a genius to run his offense and get out of that guy's way. He wants to be apart of that too and he wants his hand in everything. This is Pete's show which leads to it being a double edged sword unfortunately.
It hearkens back to when Holmgren was stripped of his GM powers. I would love to see Pete removed from the offensive side of the ball. He just focus' on the defense 100% and then have an offensive guru run the O. The D would be better for it, and the O would be better for it. Of course I know it won't happen though.
I think Pete is an excellent big picture guy, and defensive mastermind. I think his GM skills are suspect at this point, and I think he is in over his head on offense. He just had in the past a Lynch to make the running game out of nothing, and a Wilson to make something out of nothing time and time again, so no one noticed at first.
We will get to see for sure this season though what's up with Pete when it comes to offense with Cable & Bevell out of the way.
I've been waiting for what seems like an eternity to evaluate the offense without Cable/Bevell being apart of it. I can't wait to watch and see.
