Being 4th in rushing yards allowed is HUGE. We were awful last year against the run. Definitely a 180 there.

When we get into the top 10 teams in sacks, this is going to be a special defense. The key to keeping it moving in forward is replacing aging players at the right time. I would try and get Jolly and Pickett locked up right now with the extra cap money. Collins' contract is going to be the difficult one. Harris can come back and play out his contract, but Kampmann might have played his last game as a Packer. I'd still like to find another safety because we have all seen what hapens when one of our starters goes down.

Player reaction was mixed to #Packers' No. 1 defensive ranking. Ryan Pickett, among others, downplayed it, said there's a lot to improve on.

Pickett: "Were not finishing. We have teams with basically no yards the whole game, in the fourth quarter, we give up too many yards."

There's something to be said about complementing yourself, but I love that he's keeping this kind of motivation and still sees some room for improvement.

And Ryan Pickett is exactly right. It's like they think they have the game wrapped up and they just roll over. He needs to rally the defense. I like how he thinks.

And Gravedigga, I can't believe that you would have even thought about firing Dom Capers. I do respect you though for standing up and admitting it.

Click HERE to see that we ARE the number one ranked defense. Unless, you don't think the NFL.com website speaks the truth.

Granted, its by yards, not the greatest measurement of how a overall defense performs.

Everyone knows that the Vikings are one of the best 3 defenses in the league... even though they are 8th in scoring D, 8th in yardage D, and 20th in INTs. But come on! They have Jared Redneck Allen and the my-state-protects-me-from-all-drug-violations Williams brothers!

I think our D would be higher ranked in scoring D if it weren't for special teams and the team relaxing late in a couple of blowout games.

More than half of Jared Allen's sacks game against the Packers in two games. They still count, but I'm starting to question the horny approach some have towards anointing him as the best. I'm not saying he's a slouch, just saying I think when looking at his numbers, how they were compiled, he has the Packers to thank.

I wonder what ours and Minnesotas defenses would be ranked if we had to play teams of the offensive caliber of NO and Arizona regularly.

I mean come on, we each get to play Chicago and Detroit twice a year. This year we got the AFC central which don't exactly light it up.

My point is I don't think we have the number 1 defense because I don't believe we could shut down NO, Arizona, Minnesota, New England, or the Colts.

I do however think that we have made tremendous strides this season and I anticipate with great enthusiasm continued improvement.

Just like KGB - 12-15 sacks, but who were they against - Chicagos dog shit line at the time.

Allen is awesome because protection is rolled to him but he still applies pressure. Just taking sack totals doesn't complete the picture. It's a half-ass assessment.
