It was a tale of two halves for the Green Bay Packers in terms of its run defense last season, and it may be the biggest question facing the team heading into the 2015 season. The Packers finished 20th overall in the NFL allowing 4.3 yards per carry. They were often embarrassing in the first

It will be better with Raji back, competent ILBs and another year under Pennell's belt.

But they still only care about it secondarily.

I would say better in spite of Raji coming back. How much better depends on how committed they are to using Clay Matthews at ILB. Overall, the D will be a lot better if the various oversize NTs spend a lot of time on the bench, and the Packers use either even man lines or a 3 man line with Daniels or somebody else not named Raji, Guion, or Pennell at NT.

If Perry stays healthy and can man the edge with Clay at ILB it should be a pretty good run D. I think Peppers and Clay struggled a bit outside against the run last year but Perry is strong at holding the edge and Clay with some actual experience and work at ILB and it should be fine. That isn't even counting on any improvement from Barrington/Ryan/Bradford. If guys like Elliott or Hubbard can win some snaps outside we don't really know how they'll play against the run.

I'm not so worried about the D-line because we have at least 1 guy there that plays well against the run in Daniels and should be able to find another between Raji/Guion/Boyd/Thornton etc... if it's really needed.

As for me, I have been 5'11", 210 - I always said, the same size as Emmitt Smith. Now I weigh in at 195, so I guess I'm a little more of a scatback. Too bad you don't play tennis; If you did, I could kick your ass at that, just like posting.

Welcome back hahahaha.

I think it will be better this year because Raji is back, especially if they leave him at NT. Our young players should get better and this is assuming our ILBs are as good or better. This is a passing league because the rules are set up to favor that. However, if a team can run on you I believe they will run it down your throat all day. So I certainly hope it is better.
