LBs for the Rams, Reeder and Littleton, talk about Barry:

Kind of eye opening to be reminded that, for all the Packers have invested in defense over the last half dozen drafts, there are only four names (players drafted by GB) worth mentioning to describe what Berry will have to work with in Green Bay. They are paying the price for their consistent success and for the steep decline in drafting during TT's last years.

I have no idea if this guy will be any good... But I know Pettine wasn't taking us anywhere. Typically, you will always be rolling the dice to an extent with these hires, as you aren't likely to be poaching a current successful DC from another team. As some have pointed out, the talent on the field will make the difference most of the time. Currently, the Packer defense is devoid of LB talent and depth in the secondary. In today's NFL, that is a significant obstacle to overcome in order to win a championship. I'm guessing MLF will get along better with him too, so that's also a plus.

Don’t worry. 32 year old broken down JJ Watt is probably on the way!!!!

[GB-Brandon]

As far as Barry the debate isn’t that he hasn’t had some success as a position specialist but more that the DC position has put him way in Over His Head. Which has been documented heavily! Being a play caller just isn’t the right fit for everyone amongst other things. He has a strong trend to buck.

That’s the major concern!

[GB-Brandon]

There are people that need the Play sheet and the head set taken away from them. An intervention of sorts! They simply won’t give it up and call “Uncle” even though it is obvious to all it’s a Giant Disaster In Motion! Barry is thought to be one of those People!!

LaFluer freely handed it all back over to this guy!!

Joe Barry just finished his PC. Talked quite a bit about the importance on the nickel corner position. I was glad to hear that because I think the Packers have tried to get by with lesser talents at that position for a while. Also talked about the ILB's needing to be guys who are instinctual. Probably bad news for Oren Burks.

Is this the year we draft a ilb early?

Does Oren even know he plays linebacker?

Barry burying his critics after a bad Week 1. Boy, I sure don't miss Brandon.

The defense does seem to be a pleasant surprise. I haven't been following close TBH but it sounds like an improvement upon past years.

[smuggler]

If the defense can play like that pretty regularly we're in pretty good shape.
