Most Packers fans have latched onto the notion that Preston Smith won’t be back next season. No one can dispute his regression, however, he has just been reunited with his former defensive coordinator Joe Barry. There’s a chance Barry could find ways to get Smith back to his 2019 form, which could entail dropping into coverage less often.
Barry coached Smith when he served as the Washington Football Team defensive coordinator from 2015 to 2016. It was Smith’s first two years in the league and you make a case that Barry helped him develop into the player he is today.
