On the Playcallers podcast presented by The Athletic, Los Angeles Chargers head coach Brandon Staley discussed the importance of having versatility and movement along the defensive front within his defensive system. Adding to this skill set was an emphasis for the Green Bay Packers in this year’s draft.
As we know, one of the big reasons that Joe Barry was hired to be the defensive coordinator of the Packers was because he spent time coaching under Staley when both were with the Los Angeles Rams. Barry was tasked with implementing a version of that same defense in Green Bay.
