GREEN BAY, Wis. — Perhaps you've heard this before about the Green Bay Packers' defense: Everything will be fine as long as they're healthy.

The problem is — or has been — that they have not stayed healthy.

Last year, playmakers like Clay Matthews and Casey Hayward missed significant time because of injuries.

The year before, it was Desmond Bishop, Nick Perry and Charles Woodson.

In the Super Bowl season of 2010, it was Nick Barnett and Morgan Burnett, among others.

"I think rather than making players fit into certain schemes, we're making those schemes fit around players now. I think it's great for the personnel that we have and what we’re trying to accomplish moving forward."

---Clay Matthews


That is my favorite quote in the article.

Who hasn't wanted that forever? Packers have been notoriously trying to fit the player to what they do for years to our detriment. The OL has been the perfect example of that.

Ted Thompson sits on his hands per former GM: "because they’ve had 25 fricking years of great quarterbacks. Of course it works. Try it without a special quarterback."

Which is odd, because 3/4 of their players DON'T fit their scheme.

Kampmann? He wasn't as bad as fans made him out to be, he just wasn't anything compared to Clay (or what he was at DE). He was the best OLB we've had at that spot until Perry last year before he broke his foot.

Yes, Kampman didn't look good in coverage, but he was pretty effective and had a low completion % when his guy was targeted.

He also led the team in pressures on the QB up until he got hurt.

The media kept saying how bad he looked in coverage, but they failed to note how effective he was.

It helps we added another versatile player in free agency and kids that came into the league 1 to 2 years ago are expected to make jumps in effectiveness.
