Too often over the past few years, the Green Bay Packers’ defense has looked like less than the sum of its parts.
There is talent all over this roster. Jaire Alexander, Za’Darius Smith, Kenny Clark, and Adrian Amos are among the best players in the NFL at their positions (regardless of what any arbitrary rankings might say). There’s no shortage of talent on this team. So why does it feel like there are still major problems on defense?
After an ugly 2018, when the Packers finished 22nd in points allowed and 18th in yards allowed, the team got a jolt of talent in free agency and improved their ranking in points allowed to 9th.
