Cooley Film Breakdown: Packers Defensive Schemes

As Cooley notes, third-down situations are going to be "critical" for the Redskins on Sunday in their Wild Card Round matchup against the Packers at FedExField. Green Bay brings with it a Top-10 third-down defense, and they've been successful by showing a variety of different coverages, as well as doing a good job disguising what they're going to do.

Cooley shows the possibilities that come about when you attack certain Green Bay zone defensive looks with effective play-action. Quarterback Kirk Cousins will have to make some quick decisions at the line on Sunday to possibly move out of a run play with a quick pass to the outside if he sees a certain look -- especially with the Packers' safeties crashing in.
