GREEN BAY – There’s something rotten with the Green Bay Packers defense and even though coach Matt LaFleur is up to his ears figuring out how to score more than a touchdown or two per game, he should be making plans for big changes.
By no means does defensive coordinator Joe Barry shoulder all the blame for the Packers’ 27-17 loss to a short-handed Tennessee Titans team Thursday night at Lambeau Field, but whatever it is he is doing or LaFleur is making him do isn’t working.
The number of screwups in the secondary has become so glaring that the Packers can’t even cover a two-man route featuring the past-his-prime Robert Woods and rookie Treylon Burks – who has been a non-factor the past five weeks – with four defenders.
