Can Packers' Defense Pass Pettine's Intelligence Test?

Green Bay Packers new defensive coordinator Mike Pettine is already creating plenty of buzz. Known for his hard-knock approach and grizzled appearance, he looks to be quite a departure from Dom Capers.

Our own Chris Peterson wrote about the task Pettine faces in getting the most out of the current stable of players on the Packers’ defense.

As has been widely reported by now, Pettine has led some very successful NFL defenses over the past decade.

He had a stint with the Baltimore Ravens shortly after their Super Bowl win in 2000 that featured the likes of Ray Lewis, Terrell Suggs and Ed Reed.
