Here's what the Packers are looking at.
Secondary probably going to be.
Safeties
Thomas and Chancellor, both guys like to hit.
Behind Thomas we have a legitimate back up in McDougald for a change, Not Thomas but able to play both Free and Strong since he at 209 can lay wood also, behind Kam at least depth wise is Hill and Thompson savvy Kids with size as well.
CB's
Sherman someone who is one of the best run support CB's in the game and Lane or Griffin, I would lean towards Lane, Backing them up is Griffin, Thorpe and Coleman none are slouches with Thorpe a 5 year guy, Coleman probably going to the nickel or Griffin to RCB and Lane Nickel first game. Griffin is the weak link due to inexperience and he held up well in pre season.
We have no weaknesses at LB, all experienced and if one goes down next man up, we have more depth by a long shot now then last year. Wagner, Wright starting and Alexander and Dewey McDonald backing Wright up and Wilhoite and Smith making up the rest of the back ups. Strong and fast and experienced.
Lets talk D line,
DT as of now are Richardson, Jones, and Reed. Have the Rookie who showed promise in Jones, but lets talk nasty and attitude with Reed and Richardson, someone said if motivated Richardson is a Suh type player, Reed has been playing with a attitude of Nasty and improved every game last year. If Jones picks up their intensity that's a nasty inside, now throw Bennett and Clark on the occasional rotation, Richardson has not had a group around him like this, they will motivate the hell out of this kid to step it up and one up each other.
Oh and we have Bass, Avril, Bennett and Clark as DE's as well, Bass has shown a knack of getting to the backfield almost Clemons like, The rest Avril Bennett and Clark are just race horses waiting for the gate to drop that will pursue disrupt tackle and read plays well.
This is a defense that may play the same type of defense but I think is going to be more aggressive up front and much more attitude, we just need to control it and not let it go over the edge.
Many of you remember the game in Seattle where we had like 8 sacks in the first half and Aaron was beside himself and lost all sense of composure, that's what we need again but not relax this time and need a immaculate catch to win it.
On offense I can only think that Lacy wants redemption and we will see him at his best to pay back the Packers for not believing in him, mix in Rawls and Carson or Prosise and our running game should be a lot for their defense to handle, our O line if we just play within ourselves and not create long third downs on stupid penalties should be able to wear down the Packers. Their secondary may be improved on paper but will be young and exploitable, running the ball will force them to cheat up and set up Lockett, Richardson for the deep shots.
Again not making dumb mistakes that take points off the board and making Aaron miserable all the while our secondary makes their receivers aware that if a ball comes to you your going to feel it till Saturday next week.
