The Green Bay Packers haven’t consistently played a 4-3 defensive scheme since Bob Sanders was their defensive coordinator. He was fired after the 2008 season.
In came Dom Capers and the Packers immediately transitioned to a 3-4 base. What is new defensive coordinator Mike Pettine going to run? Most likely some of both.
The Packers’ defensive strength appears to be their defensive line. They have three legitimate starters in Mike Daniels, Kenny Clark and Muhammad Wilkerson. They have solid player in Dean Lowry. They have second-year, third-round pick in Montravius Adams, who is healthy after an injury-plagued first season.
