I think it was 1.21 jigawatts or something like that.

The Packers have 25 million wrapped up in outside linebackers that offered very little production in 2017. The Packers have to figure out how to get production from Matthews and Perry for this defense to be productive in 2018.
It's nice to expect inside pressure, and with Daniels and Clark the Packers have two horses that can apply pressure from the interior, both can win one on one matchups, but without outside pass rush those guys will be double teamed and nullified. To create pressure it comes from scheme and having the right players that can be productive. At the end of the day it is a chess game because the Packers do not have a dominant pass rusher on the field.

Whoa professor, you're moving a bit fast for me. Is this an isosceles, equilateral, or right triangle? Are you sneaking in non-Euclidean geometry where two pass rushers go upfield in exact parallel lines, but still meet at the QB? What if a triangle is the wrong model and a heptagon is correct with the other five points being four defensive backs and an inside LB? What kind of trigonometry will the Packers have to employ when most of their salary cap goes to an over-the-hill Clay Matthews who TOTALLY disrupts the unit circle?
Yes, but is the cat dead, alive or both at the same time?
I have high hopes for a Pettine defense.
Woody, sometimes I can't tell if you're insane or just trolling. It's awe-inspiring. Don't ever change.Quote:
A triangle where the apexis represented by 'the Target'of the Pass Rush or the opposition's QB.
Also, I had to Google apexis. Took me to a World of Warcraft page.
I think the defense will be improved. If nothing else, chewing out players for being sloppy and holding them accountable should help. I think a defense gravitates to a more aggressive personality, and Capers got stale.
I also like the alleged focus on communication and simplicity. We'll see. The proof will be when the pads (and the lights) go on.
Earlier this year Pettine said, "If the other team knows what defense you're in pre-snap, you're in trouble". That alone suggests that the Packers defense this year will force opposing offenses into tougher decisions than was the case last year.
If he can just get the defense to above average, it will be a great season. I personally think he'll do better than that.
You do have an eye for such things, I must say.
We really are a bunch of geeky, suburban middle schoolers, aren't we?
At the same time it helps when your defenders know what defense they are in. The offense may know the defense, but you don't have a chance if your corners think you are in cover two and the safeties think you are in 2 read. That happened multiple times last season, and the breakdowns usually led to huge plays against the Packers' defense.
