The 2016 Green Bay Packers’ defense was scented with an essence of Dr. Jekyll, but overwhelmed by the stink of Mr. Hyde (no, not necessarily you, Micah). On one hand, there is the sensible, stout run defense, headlined by Mike Daniels and an improving, young defensive line. On the other hand, there is an injury-filled, confused pass defense with a pair of excellent safeties that have to make up for a poor cornerback unit. In a pass-first league, that type of defensive roster makeup will make it very tough to compete for a championship, and Packers fans experienced that last Sunday at the hands of the Atlanta Falcons.
