GREEN BAY – The Packers will be facing the ultimate stop-the-run challenge this Sunday when they face Seahawks star running back Marshawn Lynch.
“He’s their tempo setter. He’s a violent runner. You can’t ever relax. You have to get that second and third (tackler) in there,” Packers Defensive Coordinator Dom Capers said in previewing Sunday’s game and the challenge the Packers defense is facing.
The Packers lost starting inside linebacker Sam Barrington to a season-ending ankle injury early in the team’s opening-day win in Chicago. Barrington was replaced by Nate Palmer, who led the Packers in tackles with seven.
