A talent-rich Green Bay Packers defense that jumped into the top 10 in yards allowed (ninth) but regressed in points allowed (19.6 to 23.1) will welcome a new coordinator to an important leadership role in 2021.
Gone is Mike Pettine, who led the Packers defense for three seasons, and arriving is Joe Barry, who didn’t produce top-level defenses during his previous two stints as a defensive coordinator but now inherits the most talented group he’s ever coached.
The change at coordinator is the biggest question mark for the Packers defense entering training camp. What adjustments will Barry make in scheme and player usage?
