GREEN BAY – The Packers defense will focus on improving its tackling this week, in preparation for Seahawks star running back Marshawn Lynch.
“Everybody in that locker room knows what Marshawn Lynch is capable of doing. We’ll be looking to make good strides this week in terms of tackling,” Packers Defensive Coordinator Dom Capers said on Monday.
Head Coach Mike McCarthy said the Packers were double-digits in missed tackles in Chicago on Sunday, in the Packers’ 31-23 win over the Bears.
“Not good enough. We have to tackle better,” Capers said.
Capers cited two other areas of the defense’s performance as having been problematic.
