“Joe Barry brings energy.”
That is all we heard all offseason after the Packers hired him to replace Mike Pettine as defensive coordinator. Barry just oozes energy and that should rub off on his players.
Judging by the defense’s performance against the New Orleans Saints on Sunday, the amount of energy Barry brings isn’t enough to power a three watt light bulb.
The new defensive coordinator’s debut could not have gone any worse than it did and while it is far too early to start calling for his job (though to be fair to those overreacting fans, there is no impression like a first impression), the concern level has to be elevated for Matt LaFleur given how flat they came out.
