Cheese Curds, 8/2: Packers’ defense makes its first big statement

The old cliché goes that nothing really matters until the pads go on. If that’s true, then the Green Bay Packers’ new-look defense is seemingly in good shape.

Monday was the first practice of 2022 for the Packers with any pads — the team wore shoulder pads before going to full-pads for Tuesday’s session — but in that session it was all about the defense. Several days of impressive performances by the offense went by the wayside as players like Rashan Gary, Kenny Clark, and Quay Walker were flying around the field, making life difficult for Aaron Rodgers and company.
