At the end of the 2017 season, former Packers cornerback Damarious Randall lamented the lack of accountability on defense in Green Bay by saying that the team’s coaches were “allowing guys on the field” even if they didn’t fulfill their assignments on plays.
Packers coach Mike McCarthy slammed Randall in response to those comments and then shipped him to the Browns in a trade last month. Randall must have been the wrong messenger because it doesn’t appear the team disagreed with his assessment of the defense.
Linebacker Blake Martinez spoke to reporters on Tuesday and said that he likes the stress that new defensive coordinator Mike Pettine is putting on accountability.
