Can a Talented Edge Unit Carry the Front Seven?

The Packers find themselves in a unique position with roster cutdowns taking place tomorrow by 3 p.m. CST. They have too much talent at the edge position, so much so that a talented football player is going to likely be left off the 53-man roster on Saturday. Back in June, I wrote an article about how the edge unit would help strengthen the defensive line, given the way players like Za’Darius Smith and Rashan Gary can play multiple positions. In that article, I made the case for keeping five outside linebackers on the active roster to start the 2020 season.
