To me it sounds like the Packers are going to play an aggressive one gap 3-4/4-3 hybrid defense... meaning less scheme and more attack and win the battle right in front of you and not worry as much about the rest. Of course the run defense will need some scheme and it will be interesting what they have there.

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.

But while Kampman sacks numbers were low, he had a ton of pressures and a number of his pressures turned into rushed / stupid QB throws which lead to a high number of INTs (because instead of holding the ball and taking the sacks the QBs were taking a risk and throwing it, which didn't work out very well for them that year as the Packers DB would take it).

But the DBs got all the credit for that (and they should get some with out a doubt) but the pass rusher should of gotten some as well and usually it seemed to be Kampman that year.

Clay has never had a good book-end, and some could argue the same about Julius Peppers. Julius Peppers, on this team, would be a no-brainer if he was younger. I still like this, a lot, but I'm desperate. Ted Thompson has been SO conservative with respect to free agency that I have to put this in the category of wishful thinking on my part. I liked that center, in May. šŸ˜ž

If he gave up a 5 yard reception to a RB in the flat it was just blah blah blah about how he's not doing well in coverage never mind that he'd crushed the QB 3 or 4 times in the same game.

He just didn't look pretty doing it.

He had a very low completions % allowed. One of the best on the team until he got hurt.

I thought we gave Al a ring, cause he went to training camp with us in the fall of 2009? There is a huge difference between a 4-3 DE and a 3-4 outside linebacker. Thankfully Big Julius has the athleticism to pull it off. Jared Allen could not have played OLB.

Yeah. Al's knee got shredded against SF in 2009, but had surgery and was in TC 2010, PUP'd, then waived in Nov 2010. He helped those younger guys as a mentor. Glad Harris got a ring.
