My biggest concern about the Green Bay Packers going into the 2014 season was the soft under belly of the defense. Week one proved my alarm to be warranted. The Packers defense gave up 207 rushing yards to Seattle and missed 18 tackles in the process. Two of the biggest no-shows on the defense were

How many years are we going to hear stories like this? A sign of how we're so poorly managed that the same things happen over and over.

Want the soft label gone? Get rid of AJ Hawk. Get rid of Brad Jones. That will be a good start to shedding the label IF they're replaced properly. To leave a mediocre soft ILB like AJ Hawk as a starter all these years has been a travesty. A total travesty.

Other than Clay Matthews is there a player on this D you think has the fire? Mike Daniels sure talks alot but I don't see half what his mouth spouts off the field, on it.

Tramon Williams= SOFT

Sam Shields= SOFT

AJ Hawk= SOFT

Brad Jones= SOFT

Datone Jones= just not very good

Peppers= Never known for his passion

Mike Pennel= Don't get any sense he's an a$$ kicker.

Clinton Dix= Some potential to be better than soft

Micah Hyde= Solid football player but tough/mean doesn't come to mind

Dom Capers= Should've retired years ago.

MM= A fraudulent tough.

TT= Are you kidding me?

It's little wonder we're S O F T.

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."

Watch this clip of Steve Smith... Can you remember ANY person in the Packers org outside of Kevin Greene who had anywhere near the passion of this guy?

You would think that these guys would play angry after all these articles. If I were any part of the defensive staff - I would be making every player on D read every article about them being soft. Eventually you would have to think someone would snap and put that story to rest. I know it would make me want to prove otherwise.

I think the defense has enough players to play "mean," but it's just not a requirement from the coaching staff, apparently. A lot of toughness originates from the coaches and then to the best players and continues to trickle down.

Step 1: Stop the run

They've got to start looking better in stopping the run. I'd worry about any of that other trash talk later. These are all big, strong, and athletic dudes. I am not skinny dude on a computer who would not dare call any of these guys soft.
