I think some people here would be naked on purpose though. That's how some folks here roll.

I looked at the NFC North needs in this article. It's remarkable that this team won 15 games with the amount of needs they have. I think many bought into this team's talent, including myself, but I didn't like what I saw. It's a talented team, but it's not an all-time great dynasty in the mold of the 90s Cowboys.

I do think we need 2 OL as we went into '11 one OL short. So yes, DB, DE, OLB, and OL. That's not as dire as it sounds. We were a 10-6 team last year, not a 15-1 team. He's right about that. How many teams won it all with the #1 D but in the bottom half in D? I can think of the '09 Saints and that's about it. Gotta rebuild this D.

It's not as simple as just replacing three players. Football doesn’t work that way. There was regression. More importantly, there was more regression than improvement. Tramon Williams played poorly. Sam Shields looked awful at times. A.J. Hawk's struggles are well known. Defensively, the only player that got better was Desmond Bishop. I still like Ryan Pickett, but he's a big man, and there is no telling he'll continue to play at a high level.

Offensively, they can't close out games with their current structure. The offensive line has holes. There are serious questions at OLT. T.J. Lang hits or misses on just about every play and there is no alternative to Scott Wells at center.

What is the one thing the Packers did well last year? They threw the ball. Where else were they good? Where else were they even average? Those are scary questions.

If I remember correctly, Williams and Shields regressed because of time. The saying that football is a game of inches is a myth. It's a game of seconds. I don't care how good of a DB you may be, if you give anyone enough time, you'll eventually get burned.
