Randall & Rollins; or Rollins & Randall ?

The Packers best defense under Capers was in 2010. They were 2nd in the NFL in points allowed. This despite the fact that their rushing defense was 18th, and their rushing YPC was 31st. On the other hand, they were 5th in passing yards allowed, and 2nd in interceptions. Since the loss of Collins and Woodson, they haven't been as good of a ballhawking defense. With the drafting of Randall, Rollins, HHCD, Goodson and Hayward in recent years, TT is trying to get back to what he had in 2009-2010. It's not what Wist wants, but is what won them a Super Bowl.

The Packers were great against the run when they needed to be in 2010. It was still a huge strength of the team left over from 2009. The reason they were 18th in 2010 was because they stayed in nickle all the time precisely to leverage their advantage as a run defense.
