Should the Packers Consider Making Changes on Defense?

Going into Thursday night's game, the Green Bay Packers defense knew they would have their hands full stopping Marshawn Lynch and the Seattle Seahawks' prolific running game. However, I don't think anybody expected Seattle to completely steamroll the Packers for 207 yards on the ground and a 5.6 rushing average on the night. The Seahawks were

Any team watching Thursday night’s game and facing the Packers this season will now test the Packers’ ability to stop the run.

This is good, because it will force the staff to deal with the situation before we end up starting our JV team in the playoffs, again.

Good Article. A lot of the same stuff I've been saying.

It was a good article, but I thought the headline was moronic:

Well, DUH! Unless, of course, we were satisfied with our defense on Thursday.

They had ONE game in the new defense... ONE... against SUPER BOWL CHAMPIONS! ... and it's been said are new defense is a lot like the Seahawks defense... so the Seahawks offense might be used to seeing it more than Packers defense are playing it.

At the very least we need to see how it does against division rivals... after all that's who we need to beat to get into the playoffs and you can't win a Championship without getting into the playoffs.

We face all the division rivals by the 5th week...

Most NFL rosters change over the course of a season. Ours will be no different. We'll see changes on both sides along the way. What I don't want to see is Janis on the inactive list for too much longer. He needs be utilized and I expect the coaching staff to find a way to do so effectively.

I doubt we see anything very substantial happen because for some unknown reason, they don't want to ditch the bad old guys at ILB. I like the idea of using Perry there, along with, of course, Lattimore and/or Barrington. Also, it's just inexcusable to have players like Elliot, Pennel, and Janis inactive for a game that important.
