Joe Barry is a man after Mike Pettine’s heart. That may not be comforting for Packers fans whose stomachs collectively lurch thinking about the Packers playing Lilliputian fronts with every defensive back they can find on the field as teams like the San Francisco 49ers and Minnesota Vikings beat them simply by turning and handing the ball off. No one played more light boxes last season than the L.A. Rams with Joe Barry and defensive coordinator Brandon Staley. Second? Vic Fangio in Denver. But the way the Packers will do it this season not only gives them a chance to be much improved against the run, but unleash the full power of players like Kenny Clark, Za’Darius, and Preston Smith, along with the emerging Rashan Gary.
I hope this article is right. We have paid Kenny Clark like a dominating player. It would be nice to see that domination used to do more than eat up double teams. Fingers crossed that Slaton plays like he has shown and that Keke shows consistency. The Campbell signing was easily the best off-season move other than what looks like a superb draft.
Nice, looking forward to learning more about this defense! Could you clarify the difference in fronts more? Maybe show the alignment of the old (nose, 5-tech, 3-tech) vs the new (nose & 2 4i's or Tite). Looking forward to the season!!!
