GREEN BAY – Building a championship-caliber defense takes time, not just from year to year, but from game to game within a season.
That’s what veteran Julius Peppers has always believed, and the building remains in progress for this year’s Packers, regardless of their current No. 1 ranking in points allowed.
“We can always get better. There’s always another level,” Peppers said. “You never reach your full potential. We’re striving to be the best, the best that we can be.
“We’re not comparing ourselves to anyone else. We’re trying to be the best that we can be, and that’s always an ongoing process.
