The bulk of the Packer talk this offseason, through the Draft, and now in the preseason has been about the inside linebacker position and the decisions and non-decisions the Packers have made there. I suppose that’s understandable considering the Packers are guaranteed to start two different players there than they did against Seattle to kick off last season. However, the turnover at that position happened midway through last season, and since that time, other than a couple additions to the depth chart, that position remains settled.
What surprises me is that no one has said a word about the situation at the outside linebacker position, which one could argue is only behind the quarterback in importance to the football team.
