This article proclaims that Ha'Sean Clinton-Dix is approaching stardom.

The storylines in Green Bay have revolved around Jordy Nelson’s health, Eddie Lacy’s weight and Clay Matthews' return to outside linebacker, where he is best suited. But few are talking about the ascension of the Packers' young home-grown defensive backfield. After another impressive performance in Week 2 of the preseason against Derek Carr, Amari Cooper [...]

I agree they look like they could be pretty darn good.
IF our D-line can put some real pressure on opposing QB's so the WR's don't have all day to get open.

It's the preseason, a bit early to be talking about stuff like this IMO.

That being said, I think the Packers defense was highly underrated last season and I wonder if we would have been top 10 in most categories, top 5 in some had the offense had its usual output and the punting not sucked. They got put into some reliably horrible spots and did a damnned good job. If they can cut even one boneheaded blown play per game and the offense can go back to what we expect of it, I wouldn't be shocked if we were a solid top 10.

For a defensive backfield that was rarely aided with consistent pass rush, what they've been doing is all the more impressive.

If you want to crown'em...go ahead and crown their a$$. 🙂 Way, way too early to say this. Rivers threw for a half mile through the air on us and that was with Keenan Allen going out who was just killing us. I realize our guys who gave up all those yards are older now, but think about Palmer in the regular season in AZ how he filleted this group.

I love the young talent and am hopeful but there are lots of questions. Who is the opening day starter opposite Sam Shields? If you can't even answer that then it's hard to say what a great secondary we have. Randall is a nice player and so is Q Rollins. Gunter looks to be a player as does Hawkins. Brice is a killer back at S and Ha Ha isn't bad. Burnett is a tick above average.

Clearly, this is the group to be the most excited about when looking at the DL, and LB situation but it still isn't all that comforting at least to me.

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."

Most articles are rubbish and most headlines are just clickbait. Not many teams have a shut down corner, let a lot multiple shut down corners. We don't have any, although Shields comes close. But what we do have are a few young talented corners who can play multiple positions well, and they've only scratched the surface.

The weakest spot is the linebacking corp in pass defense. A good QB who can find the hot read on a blitz will be most effective.

The best way to use the strength of the secondary is to get a lead early and keep scoring on offense.

I would love to see these guys get the defense back to the defense that consistently led the league in turnovers.

Hopefully with Matthews going back to OLB, Daniels, and keeping Peppers fresh we can get a better pass rush, especially on 3rd down. To me that's the difference between being a top 5 D or average or a little better.
