The combination of Mike Pettine, Jaire Alexander, and Josh Jackson will be all the infusion of talent the Green Bay Packers pass rush needs in 2018.
No, Pettine isn’t going to go line up at outside linebacker, an option some fans might have preferred to Kyler Fackrell last season. And no, Alexander and Jackson aren’t going to blitz off the edge in some new cat blitz-heavy attack.
Green Bay’s defense in 2017, which didn’t generate a single sack in the red zone, still finished ninth in adjusted sack rate. The problem wasn’t getting to opposing quarterbacks, it was all the times when this defense couldn’t get home.
