GREEN BAY – Mike McCarthy wasn’t interested in declaring the Packers’ pass rush the best of his tenure this week, but that’s only because the sample size is too small.
“Let’s play the whole year,” the head coach said, mentioning the 2007 and 2010 units as rather formidable themselves. “But we definitely can be that type.”
What defined the pass rush of those two previous teams is each had a trio of players who consistently got to the quarterback.
In 2007, playing a 4-3 front, Aaron Kampman, Kabeer Gbaja-Biamila and Corey Williams each had at least seven sacks, led by Kampman’s 12.
