It’s no secret, that over the years, the Green Bay Packers and just about everyone else in the NFL have been spending more and more time using sub packages defensively.
With spread offenses and the continuing evolution of the passing game, nickel and dime defenses have become the norm and in Green Bay, it’s been that way for years. But, as each year passes, the Packers seem to get away more and more from their 3-4 defense.
With some personnel changes, it’s possible that we don’t see a huge drop in 3-4 snaps this season, but seeing Capers spend 75 or 80 percent of his time in sub packages, shouldn’t come as a surprise.
